RichPen Phoenix 223C

The Richpen 223C (part of the Phoenix series) is a high-quality, double-action, gravity-feed airbrush from the Japanese manufacturer Fuso Seiki, known for its precision and fine detail work. It is often compared favorably to high-end Iwata airbrushes, as both brands were historically manufactured by the same company.

• Feed Type: It uses a gravity-feed system with a large, non-removable 6 ml paint cup.
• Action: It is a double-action airbrush, allowing independent control of both air and paint flow with the trigger.
• Control Features:
  • Air volume adjustment valve (MAC valve) to regulate airflow at the airbrush head.
  • Preset adjustment handle at the rear to limit the trigger's backward travel, controlling the maximum paint flow.
• Needle Cap: It has an eyelet needle cap with three holes, designed to eliminate air turbulence for a smooth spray and fine lines. Removing the nozzle cap allows for a stippling (sandy) pattern.
• Operating Pressure: It operates effectively on low pressure, consistently working at 14 PSI, but can handle up to 70 PSI
• Versatility: It accepts a wide range of media including inks, watercolors, acrylics, gouaches, and solvent-based paints and lacquers.
