    Default Super 5 Australia

    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
