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 Cherry Blossom
Cherry Blossom is a historic British brand dating back to the early twentieth century, with advertising campaigns recorded from the 1920s. Best known for shoe polish originally made by Chiswick Products, the brand passed through owners including Reckitt & Colman and Sara Lee, and its name also appeared on everyday household and stationery goods.
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.
