Visconti Homo Sapiens Lava Color

Visconti Homo Sapiens Lava Color

We are proud to present our new creation the Homo Sapiens Lava Color, the first collection to showcase our 14 kt gold nib made in Visconti factory.
This vibrant and colorful writing instrument is a re interpretation of our iconic Homo Sapiens collection.
The pen is made from the Visconti’s well known and highly valued material Lava Color is the perfect union of catalyzed Mount Etna basaltic lava and colored resin made following Visconti secret formula.
This new edition also has an anti stain treatment that protects the pen and prevents ink from depositing on the pen during the refilling phase Homo Sapiens.
Lava Color comes in three nature inspired colors the Ash White the red earth pigment Terra di Siena and Tuff a type of rock made of volcanic ash ejected from a vent during a volcanic eruption.
Unlike the classic Homo Sapiens Lava collection, the Lava Color features magnetic lock closing system which makes opening and closing it effortless
The Lava Color is the perfect addition to the Homo Sapiens family, an absolute must have for colour and nature lovers.

COLOUR SHADES: The process of catalysing the lava material with coloured resin is very complex but the final look of the pen is unique and makes this collection stand out from other Homo Sapiens editions.
ANTI STAIN TREATMENT: Due to the fact that the material is basaltic lava, the pen has a high degree of absorption and it is very hygroscopic. In order to avoid ink stains, the pen has to be treated with an anti stain treatment.
We recommend to clean the pen with Visconti blotting paper every time you fill it, to ensure that any ink stain has been removed from the section.

The Visconti Homo Sapiens Lava Color features the patented Power Filler filling system.
The fountain pen is equipped with a plunger for filling directly from the inkwell.
At the back end of the barrel, unscrew the blind cap (Fig.1).
Pull the rod all the way out (Fig.2).
Be careful if the pen is filled could come out a little bit of ink. Submerge the nib into the ink until the front end of the grip section (Fig.3).
Depress the plunger downward with one single stroke. Count to five slowly, allowing the pen to fill and then remove from the ink (Fig.4).
Screw the blind cap back into the barrel end (Fig.5).
Dry the nib and the conductor with the blotting paper. We recommend cleaning the writing set, nib and conductor, periodically by filling and emptying the pen continuously with water.
This operation is essential if the pen is not used for a long time.
