Super5- Delhi I personally would not appreciate receiving a letter with this ink with an Ef nib, 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 It is my understanding that the inks were originally made by Roherer and Klingner and used the same bottles, but the packaging has changed and now the inks come in 30 ml bottles.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. Chroma Writing samples: It really well behaved on Hammermill, the only bleed though was with heavy handed flexing Photo: Comparison: Watertest: (Nothing budged) 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.... · Pens used: Pilot Kakuno Ef, Kaweco Sport (EF/F/M/B/1.9), Kanwrite with an Ahab nib · What I liked: Nice bright orange colour. · What I did not like: Price, availability in North America, and cleaning, dryness · What some might not like: Same as above. · Shading: No, only with very wide nibs… · Ghosting: No. · Bleed through: No. · Flow Rate: Medium · Lubrication: Slightly below average, especially with Ef nibs. · Nib Dry-out: No. · Start-up: No. · Saturation: No. · Shading Potential: Dismal. · Sheen: No. · Spread / Feathering / Woolly Line: No. · Nib Creep / “Crud”: No. · Staining (pen): No. · Clogging: No. · Cleaning: It needs a cleaning solution. · Water resistance: Excellent · Availability: 30 ml /Cartridges Please don't hesitate to share your experience, writing samples or any other comments.

Hi All We are glad to be here, and we are the new e-store based out of Delhi, India focussing on fountain pen and related items. Hope to gain some knowledge here and benefit the community in any possible manner

Namaste people. This coming Wednesday is pretty special because after a gap, I'm going to India again. Yaaay!!! This time we planned to give Delhi a small visit. Now, being the person I am, whenever a destination is chosen for a trip, I search for possible pen shops. I did the same here but I really couldn't get much in detail. So to all people who've been to or are in Delhi, are there any pen shops that sell for amazing prices? I'm mostly looking to purchase an everyday writing pen (Mostly Indian made) and also some spare nibs and ink if possible, for the best prices. an anyone help me? Thanks and regards, Adit Kamath

Hello FPN Members, I am a student who is currently looking for a budget fountain pen under Rs. 250. What would be the best choice? I am located in Delhi and I have looked through all online stores but alas, every budget pen is either unavailable or over priced. Can anyone tell me where to find one? Thanks

Hi Everyone, This is just a quick comparison I made of two shading orange inks: Super5 Delhi and Noodler's Apache Sunset. I was surprised at how similar they can look and the shading with both is impressive. The huge advantage, for some at least, of Delhi is that it's completely waterproof once dry! If you've been hoping for a waterproof version of Apache Sunset, Super5 Delhi may be close enough to fit the bill. My only complaint with Delhi as far as behavior goes is that it left pink stains in my TWSBI demonstrator that I still haven't been able to get out. Here's what these two oranges look like on a cheap legal pad: Some close-ups: And on 80gsm Rhodia: Rhodia close-ups: I hope this is useful for someone!

Hello Fellow FPN users I want to know where can i buy Kaweco & TWSBI pens in India, especially in Delhi or Mumbai....?? Any help will be really appreciated....?

Hi I wish to share with you a prized possession of mine, one of the only 19 Limited Edition Parker Duofold Black Centennial Fountain Pens, launched on the occasion of the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 held in New Delhi (India)! This special pen received a fair share of media attention at the time launch, as the first of this limited edition was presented to His Royal Highness Prince Charles in an event organized in Delhi before the XIX Commonwealth Games opening ceremony. As per an article I read, of the 19 pens, apart from Prince Charles, 1 each was gifted to the Queen of England, Shri D K Jain (Chairman & Managing Director of Luxor group) Smt Sonia Gandh (Congress President) and Dr. Manmohan Singh (Prime Minister of India). And the remaining 14 were sold to collectors across India at a retail price of approx USD 2K at the time. It was quite a fortunate chance that I was able to purchase one directly at the time of launch in Oct-2010. I got the low numbered edition #3 pen (each pen has the unique serial no, 1-19, and the edition limit engraved on the barrel). I have this pen in mint, unused condition with original box, packing material, receipt and COA. I was curious to know what my pen could be worth in today's market, and also appreciate any advice from senior members of the forum on whether this pen is worth selling or keeping as my son's inheritance. regards Abhinav
