The Flat Jet Medium Cap is a specialized nozzle designed for artists who want a "chisel" effect similar to a calligraphy marker or a professional spray gun. Unlike standard round-cap nozzles, this cap produces a flat, rectangular spray pattern, making it an essential tool for specific technical applications.
Whether you are looking for clean fills, sharp edges, or unique handstyles, the Flat Jet Medium offers a level of control that round caps simply can't match.
Technical Specifications
Cap Type: Flat Jet / Calligraphy Cap.
Output: Medium.
Pattern: Adjustable Horizontal or Vertical "Fan" spray.
Compatibility: Universal female valve (fits most major spray paint brands).
Key Features
Adjustable Nozzle: The black insert at the front can be rotated. This allows you to switch between a vertical spray pattern (perfect for horizontal lines) and a horizontal spray pattern (ideal for vertical strokes).
Calligraphic Effect: By tilting your hand or the can, you can create varying line thicknesses, mimicking the look of a wide-nib marker. It is a favorite for high-end tags and "flare" styles.
Even Coverage: Because the paint is distributed in a flat fan shape, it is perfect for coating objects or small surfaces evenly without the "hot spots" often created by round caps.
Clean Transitions: Ideal for smooth gradients and blending, as the flat spray allows for more predictable overlapping of colors.
Pro Tip: The "Gate" Technique
The Flat Jet Medium is widely used for painting gates, bars, and narrow surfaces. By rotating the nozzle to match the orientation of the object you are painting, you minimize overspray and waste, ensuring that almost all the paint lands exactly where you want it.
