Paper & pairing
As a near-neutral tone, it reads as professional and safe for anything from journaling to signatures. 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 Deleter
Deleter is a Japanese manufacturer of manga and design supplies, established in 1984 and headquartered in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is known for its screen tones, manga manuscript paper, Neopiko markers and drawing inks widely used by comic artists.
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.
