VISCONTI VAN GOGH - MAGNETIC CAP SEAL

[dave321]

can anyone comment on how effective the magnetic cap sealis on the van gogh pen ?

w.r.t. preventing the nib drying out ?

i may as well ask also the same question for their bayonet cap seal on the homo sapiens?

I have several Visconti with the magnetic cap seal including a HS Color series and several Rembrandts.  They are not as good as traditional screw caps.  I have an HS with the spring loaded cap and it is marginally better.

The seal on the Homo Sapiens is decent. It's similar in principle to the Platinum slip and seal cap and the inner cap is spring loaded. I haven't had issues with my four Homo Sapiens. The Platinum pen I have appears to be slightly better, probably because Platinum has better tolerances.

thank you for all your comments, it gives perspective on some fine detail of a pen design
