Paper & pairing
Reds and pinks show the most dramatic shading of any color family: expect real variation between the edges and center of each letter. 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 Eslite Nihombashi
Eslite is a Taiwanese bookstore and lifestyle retail chain founded in Taipei in 1989 by Robert Wu. Eslite Spectrum Nihonbashi, opened on 27 September 2019 in the COREDO Muromachi Terrace complex, is the chain's first Japanese location and combines books, stationery and cultural goods under the concept 'Books, and Everything in Between'.
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.
