Paper & pairing
Browns tend to photograph and scan a little darker than they look in person, worth testing before using one for anything that will be digitized. 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 Dream Ink
Dream Ink is an independent Chinese fountain pen ink maker specializing in shimmer and shading inks, many of which are marketed for calligraphy and art as well as everyday writing. Its inks, which often carry poetic Chinese names, are typically sold in small bottles and have reached international audiences through boutique stationery retailers.
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.
