A budget-friendly fountain pen out of Germany, the Super5 is now available with a transparent demonstrator body and all the writing power of the original. The torpedo-shaped barrel is made of smooth, lightweight plastic, as is the click-on cap, while both the grip and clip are made of painted metal for added weight and durability. The Super5 accepts standard international ink cartridges and converters, and comes fitted with your choice of nibs. There are two calligraphy nib sizes, as well as two standard writing sizes. The ink feed system is designed to flow without skipping or blotting, making this a great pen for anyone who loves precise writing.
Note: This drop’s base price is for two fountain pens with a choice of 0.5mm (calligraphy nib), 0.7mm (calligraphy nib), medium, or broad nibs. Two black ink cartridges are included. At checkout, you can add a converter (+ $6) or two converters (+ $12), a fountain pen cleaner (+ $4), a 6-pack of ink cartridges (+ $5), or a 30ml bottle of waterproof ink (+ $15). Both ink offerings come in your choice of colors: Atlantic blue, Australia red, Darmstadt black, Delhi orange, Dublin green, or Frankfurt grey.
Waterproof and lightfast, Super5 ink is ideal for drawing but works equally well in calligraphy. With average flow and above-average lubrication, it offers good shading with broad and medium nibs. Though you’ll notice bleed-through and show-through on copy paper, heavier paper (like Field Notes and Rhodia) is able to stand up to this German-made ink. Packaged in clear glass bottles, Super5 ink is also resistant to drying out when used in fountain pens.
Developed to clean any kind of ink from fountain pens, the Super5 cleaner is especially good at cleaning Super5 waterproof ink. It dissolves ink in the collector, feed, and converter, even if it’s been there for months, and won’t corrode the paint or plastic parts of your pen. Plus, because it’s packaged in 5-milliliter packets, the cleaner is easy to bring wherever you go. When you’re ready to use it, simply mix the contents of one packet with 50 to 100 milliliters of water, so that the ratio of concentrate to water is between 1:5 and 1:10.
