Paper & pairing
Purples sit at the boundary of professional and playful, one of the more personality-forward choices that still reads clearly on the page. This ink will behave predictably on most fountain-pen-friendly paper. Cheap, highly absorbent paper (standard copier paper) will dull any ink's saturation and can cause feathering or bleed-through with wetter nibs.
About BookPensCom
BookPensCom is a Chinese fountain pen ink producer offering a wide range of colours, including many shimmer and sheening inks, sold in 18 ml and 30 ml bottles. Many of its inks are identified simply by number rather than by name, and the line is known for unusual shades outside the mainstream palette. It reaches Western buyers largely through specialist retailers such as Hippo Noto and has been reviewed on blogs including Gourmet Pens.
Storing and using the bottle
Bottled fountain pen ink has an effectively long shelf life when kept capped and out of direct sunlight: most inks remain usable for years. The main risk isn't the ink spoiling, it's a pen sitting inked and unused for weeks: that's what causes clogs, not the ink's age.
