Super 5 Australia

Pigmented inks made by Rohrer and Klinger. They are a shade darker in my experience of their sketchInk counterparts. Australia is shade darker than Jule. Both lightfast and waterproof and are designed for sketching.

Australia is a nice wet ink. Dry time is the same as sketchInk inks. Meaning, if you use broad/flex/wet nibs and ink resistant paper the dry time is about 30 seconds or more and if you use F/EF nibs then you’re good.

The price, however, is three times the amount of sketchInk. Very expensive for what is.

• Pen used: Lamy Safari – Broad nib both sides
• Shading: Yes with wider nibs
• Ghosting: None
• Bleed through: None.
• Flow Rate: Wet
• Lubrication: Nice
• Nib Dry-out: Depending on the pen. Needs well sealed pen.
• Start-up: If not used it can dry out, in pens with high evaporation.
• Saturation: Saturated
• Shading With wide/ flex nibs
• Sheen: Not rally.
• Spread / Feathering / Woolly Line: None.
• Nib Creep / “Crud”: None
• Staining (pen): You might need a pen cleaner.
• Clogging: Yes, if pen is not well sealed.
• Water resistance: Waterproof
• Availability: Only in bottle 30 ml bottles.

Thank you! I'm particularly impressed at the variation you've got going on with different nib widths and papers. I keep dithering about these (Delhi and Dublin in particular), I might have to try one now!

Most welcome. They are quite pricey for what they are. Delhi is dark orange than sketching Carmen :)
