TWSBI Vac 700R Clear

New for April 2017, the TWSBI Vac 700R. An updated version of the original TWSBI Vac 700 vacuum-filler with an improved shut-off valve design.

This model uses the same JoWo number 6 nib as the Vac 700 but the front sections are not interchangeable. Compatible nib assemblies for the new Vac 700R are available.

The TWSBI Vac pens have a shut off value internally so such that when it is closed there is only sufficient ink for a short passage of writing.  When the filler knob is unscrewed the shut of value is opened and the ink reservoir is then connected with the nib assembly and this enable a the flow of ink for long writing sessions.  See the instruction manual PDF in the downloads tab a pictorial description.

Writing samples are 300 DPI and the paper is 8mm spacing
