Iwata 5 Ways to Spray
An easier way to understand airbrushes.
Iwata airbrushes and Anest Iwata spray guns are designed and manufactured with the utmost precision and quality. That is why, with over 90 years of expertise, the Iwata brand is trusted by industry leading artists around the world. From extreme detail spraying to maximum coverage, we classify our airbrushes into five categories so you can easily find the perfect Iwata airbrushes to cover your specific needs for any project.

Who sprays with Absolute Precision?:
The main features of the Custom Micron are:
Custom Micron Head System:
The unique feature of the hand-matched head system means all of the parts in the head are assembled, tested and adjusted until the spray characteristics are as perfect as an airbrush can be. Available as a set, the head systems can be interchanged for maximum reliability and ultimate performance. Spare head systems can be purchased to ensure the Custom Micron will always spray to its fullest potential. Click here to view the Custom Micron airbrushes. | ||

Who sprays with Total Control?:
| ||
| ||
|
Designed for artists who need total control of detailed spraying, the Hi-Line Series uses larger diameter threads on the nozzle than the old High Performance Series. This makes the nozzle much stronger when tightening it onto the airbrush and ensures better centering of the nozzle when it screws onto the airbrush body. The Hi-Line Series is made with PTFE solvent-proof needle packing, a dual-purpose cutaway pre-set handle and one-piece auxiliary lever/needle chucking guide. Featuring a Micro Air Control (MAC) Valve:
A breakthrough technology, the Micro Air Control (MAC) Valve enables infinite control of the airflow at the head of the airbrush, which is different than just regulating the air pressure at the compressor.
High-Performance Assembly:
Each nozzle is precisely made on the industry's most sophisticated machinery. They are hand tested to assure accurate control and fine atomization of the spray, and they are self-sealing, which eliminates the need for messy sealers. Unlike conventional brass nozzles, steel alloys are more durable and resist damage from harsh chemicals. Click here to view the Hi-Line airbrushes. | ||

Renowned as the professional's workhorse, the Iwata High Performance Plus Series has been fulfilling the needs of those requiring outstanding control,
superior atomisation, and fine consistent detail through to medium sized areas. The HP Series has proved itself with illustrators
through to customisers with its versatility and durabilty.

Who sprays with All-Star Versatility?:
Eclipse Nozzle/Head Assembly:
The drop in hardened stainless steel nozzles are self centring for perfect alignment and quick and easy assembly. These nozzles afford high paint flow with ultimate control. With interchangeable heads, 0.35 or 0.5mm this makes the Eclipse a truly versatile airbrush, from fine to broad coverage. The Eclipse Series have PTFE solvent-proof needle packing.

Anest Iwata-Medea Plc. and The Airbrush Company Ltd. warrant to the original purchaser that they will repair or replace, at their option, without charge, any part of the Iwata airbrush, excluding fluid nozzles, fluid needles, packing and o-rings, found to be defective in factory material or workmanship within five years from the date of original purchase. Warranty service will be provided only at Anest Iwata-Medea authorised service centres (The Airbrush Company Ltd in the UK). You must pay all charges for shipping and transporting your Iwata airbrush to and from these service facilities. Any material that is shipped to Medea or their service centre without prior authorisation may not be accepted. This warranty does not cover your Iwata airbrush if it has been:
Anest Iwata-Medea will not be responsible for damage to persons or property, commercial loss or any other incidental or consequential damage caused by a defective airbrush. However, some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you. All implied warranties, including any warranty of merchantability or fitness are limited to the duration of this written warranty. However, some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Your 5 year Anest Iwata-Medea warranty is only valid in the UK if you have purchased your airbrush from an authorised UK retailer and you have proof of purchase. |
||
| 10 Year Extended UK Warranty on Iwata Airbrushes | ||
Your UK warranty is with The Airbrush Company Ltd, the UK distributor for Iwata airbrushes and compressors. Your extended 10 year Airbrush Company warranty is only valid in the UK if you have purchased your airbrush from an authorised UK retailer and you have proof of purchase. If your new Iwata airbrush does not come with a UK warranty notice, then it is likely that the dealer you purchased it from is selling 'grey imports' and the official Iwata warranty will only be valid in the country that the dealer imported it from. Please contact the Airbrush Company to determine if the company you are purchasing from, or have purchased your Iwata airbrush from, is an authorised UK retailer. If you have purchased your Iwata airbrush from a dealer in another country, your warranty will be valid in that country and you will need to return it to the vendor for repair or replacement under warranty. Technical assistance and support is available on our telephone help-line. The UK warranty on Iwata Studio Series compressors, whether bought separately or at the same time as an Iwata airbrush as system or kit, is the standard one year warranty. Please refer to the Iwata compressor warranty below. |
