its 1/16th of an inch if your doing color shading, and 1/32nds of an inch for outlining and 3/32nds i believe for black shading. see with the color ink you have to have your needle sticking out farther than you would for outlining or black shading. On an outline you bareley want your needle to stick out this way it wont be all over the place when you hit the pedal, it'll be pretty set in your tip so there wont be any unnessary moving around.
