Opera Blue Typhoon & Crystal Demonstrator
Featuring: New Smartouch tubular Nib and new Mosquito Filler. Visconti has created two new writing instruments at the fore front of writing technology. Beneath the body of these beautiful pens lie a wealth of innovation and creativity:
The New Visconti Smartouch nib
The New Visconti ‘Mosquito’ ink adaptor
The Visconti double reservoir power filler
The Visconti ‘hook safe lock’ system
Visconti has again reinforced itself as the world’s most creative manufacturer of luxury writing instruments. With innovation abound these new pens will satisfy even the most demanding pen aficionado.
Each pen belongs to the popular “Squaring the circle” collection. The Blue Typhoon resin is rich in color, whilst the Crystal is a pure demonstrator with all internal components visible. This is the first time Visconti has made a completely clear demonstrator and two of Visconti’s patented designs can be perfectly viewed: the “double reservoir power filler” prevents a fountain pen from leaking during air travel and the “hook safe lock” prevents a pen cap from coming undone in a pocket or bag.
Visconti Smartouch Tubular Nib
After extensive testing Visconti finally introduce the new Smartouch Tubular Nib. Its special shape is turned from a capillarity tube made of Chromium 18. The tube precisely wraps around the feed, resulting in a unique shape and allowing the user to fill his pen without the need to dip the entire grip and nib section into ink. This results in a cleaner and more efficient fill and, due to the nibs uniquely positioned air hole and design, the nib will stay wet for longer before drying out.
Visconti Mosquito filler
The Visconti Mosquito ink filling adapter may only be used together with the new Smartouch nib. This interesting device attaches to the end of the pen and is used to fill the pen with ink. The adapter avoids dipping the nib directly into ink and at the same time every last drop of ink will be used from the ink bottle.
Mosquito Filler: use and maintenance
Position the tubular nib directly in front of the Mosquito adapter, with markings facing one another
Gently press the adapter until it touches the pen section.
Fill the pen per instructions
Gently pull out the adapter with a straight movement. Do not unscrew.
Wipe the nib as usual
Rinse the adapter with clear water.
Warning :
Always put the fountain pen nib pointing the mark in the adapter. Do not reverse or angle it.
Never try to unscrew the adapter, gently pull it off the pen.
