Yes. I'm looking for just such an ink.

May I please ask to clarify: Is it called Rohrer and Klingner Frankfurt?

I ask because where I work and live there are numerous stringent restrictions and limitations which affect shopping for “foreign” inks.

However, several kind-hearted former students, now friends, generously look for me, therefore I want to provide the correct name to them.

Thank you for he sketch above. It's compelling!

Tom the ink is made by Rohrer and Klingner but the line is called Super5 and the color is Frankfurt. (Dehli is one of my favorites)

 

Here are some links.

Thank you so very much!

The links which you've very kindly provided are exactly what I need.

This is a completely new ink to me, and definitely most appreciated.

Somewhere around here, Lapis had a link to the company that also sold the Super5 Calligraphy pen which he really liked.

I agree, these nibs are good to try stub nibs. Out of the box mine (0.7 and 1.1) were dry and showed a lot of hard starts.

After I've opened the tines a bit, they showed less hard starts, but my Lamy 1.5 stub nib also has hard starts so I consider it a common issue and move on. (Actually now that I think about it, my Pluminix stub nibs don't show any hard starts, maybe it's not that common an issue...)

By the way, my 0.7 nib is round-tipped, has the sphere tipping material and zero line variation. Since these are generic nibs, I may have gotten a wrongly printed nib. But the 1.1 is nice.

 

the 0.7 is just a regular old medium nib. I have 3 sets of these nibs, that's just how the 0.7 is.

 

I also really enjoy these italic nibs. they're all very smooth and the flow has been good.

Really , they are magnificent calligraphy pens

[amberleadavis]

For the cost it is spectacular and I admit, they are really quite nice to use.

UPDATE -

 

1. Price has lowered below $2.
2. These pens will take Lamy cartridges.
3. Cartridge converter will fit my Lamy Safari.
4. AND the nib fit into my Moonman Wancai.

 

@Honey, would these work for your stacked nibs?
