Super5 - Delhi

Super5- Delhi

I personally would not appreciate receiving a letter with this ink with an Ef nib, :D however, I enjoyed using this ink for art projects.
It is my understanding that the inks were originally made by Roherer and Klingner and used the same bottles, but the packaging has changed and now the inks come in 30 ml bottles.

What surprised me was the amount of ink stuck in the transparent section of pilot Kakuno, which I had forgotten in water for 3 days. It needed a pen flush to remove it.
It’s no biggy in my book, but it might be for some.

Ink is very well behaved and works well on copy paper with most nibs.
If you want a slightly reddish waterproof orange go for Carmen, which is easily available in North America and cheaper.

It really well behaved on Hammermill, the only bleed though was with heavy handed flexing :D

And finally an artwork: Castle, This was part of the inktober challenge, it gave me the opportunity to use Super5-Delhi (rigtht) and R&K Sketchink Carmen (Left)
The idea was of walls we built around our selves...
The blue ink is Herbin Bleu Nuit....

"Ohmmmmm," said the kitty.

"Ohmmmmm," replied the mousey.

:) Love it!

Thanks for the review, Yazeh. I like the color and shading, but am not going to go hunting overseas inks, so I'll survive without it. Lucky you - no chance I'll write you an EF letter with it. ;)

Lovely review (and lovely kitty).

I've been tempted by the super5 range, but never got any as it was all such a faff from here as none of my European suppliers that don't charge a huge postage premium ever seemed to have it.

Now I see the comparison, I'm not worried!

I think it might just be the time of year, but I seem to be suffering from ink ennui, and haven't found anything much I want to get recently. Either that, or perhaps I've reached saturation point!

Thx!

Carmen is quite close :)


Lucky you - no chance I'll write you an EF letter with it. ;)
Such a blessing :pound:

Love orange in clothes and inks! And the shading this exhibits in a fat nib. I don't think I would like its staininess, though, and it might be hard to read.

Beautiful sketch. Kitteh and Mousie seem to be enjoying themselves, lucky pair.

Thanks, Yazeh, for continuing with these reviews and comparisons. Caran D'Ache Electric Orange might be an ink I'd actually use!

Lovely review (and lovely kitty).

A blessing is disguise I guess :)

Then I achieved my goal!

That's the beginning of enlightenment 🙏

🙏 for your kind words. Electric orange is a pricey bottle of ink but with the cartridges it's manageable :)

No EF letters with that ink. They'd be too EFing hard to read.
