Paper & pairing
Greens read as more expressive than blue or black, a common choice for people who want color without leaving the realm of "still looks professional." 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 Chelpark
Chelpark was a celebrated Indian fountain pen ink maker whose name is a portmanteau of Chellaram and Parker, formed in 1943 when the Chellaram trading family took over Parker's Indian operations. Later headquartered in Bangalore, it supplied generations of Indian schoolchildren with anti-clogging fountain pen inks before manufacturing wound down in the 2010s as fountain pen use declined.
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.
