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 David Oscarson
David Oscarson is an American luxury writing instrument brand that has produced limited edition pens since 2000. Each collection is crafted in sterling silver using traditional guilloché engraving and hot (hard) enamel work, and the brand's pens have won honors including Robb Report's Best of the Best and Pen World's Pen of the Year awards.
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.
