Travelling Ink Wells

 Nothing worse than running out of ink when you're far away from a trusty ink bottle! Luckily Visconti have just the solution.

The Visconti Travelling inkwell is the perfect accessories for anyone wishing to be ready to write when away from home or desk. It holds about 5ml of ink - two fills for a reasonable capacity pen. Works beautifully for all Visconti pens, ensuring almost complete filling of their piston and powerfiller pens, but its universal fitting means it will work for most makes of pen.

There is a rubber gasket around the mouth, in which you place the nib and part of the front section of the pen so it locks on the rubber flap. Invert the pen so the nib is bathed in ink. Then you plunge your piston and with the excess pressure produced by the piston the pen fills nicely. It is best to fill it only two-thirds to avoid leakage by pressure. If the reservoir is too full pressure rises so much you get leaks round the flap.

A useful and elegant accessory.
