What does the AirPress Pen do and when do you need it?

The Tombow AirPress Pen is a ballpoint pen with a unique compressed-air technology that ensures the pen writes under special conditions where an ordinary ballpoint pen lets you down. Think of situations where you need to write overhead, on wet paper or in a dusty environment. That makes it ideally suited for use outside the office, on the shop floor or on the move.

Why this size and this variant?

The AirPress Pen has a ball diameter of 0.7 mm with an F writing width, which gives a fine, precise line in black. The sturdy blue-grey and black body is complemented by a rubber grip that gives you a firm and comfortable hold, even when your hands are wet or dirty. This makes the pen practical to use in situations where you don't always have ideal working conditions.

Honest about the compressed-air technology

The compressed-air technology is the distinguishing feature of this pen: air pressure pushes the ink towards the tip, making it possible to write in awkward positions or on difficult surfaces. This is not a marketing claim but a functional difference that you only really notice when a standard ballpoint pen fails or dries out because it has been left still for a while. For everyday office use it is a pleasant extra, but for more demanding environments it is a genuine added value.

Practical tip about the metal clip

The AirPress Pen has an extremely flexible metal clip, allowing you to attach it to thicker materials such as a ring binder or clipboard without the clip deforming or breaking. The pen is supplied on a blister card, which is handy if you want to keep it as a spare pen or give it as a gift. You use the reference code BC-AP42 when reordering refills compatible with this model.
