Paper & pairing
Greens read as more expressive than blue or black, a common choice for people who want color without leaving the realm of "still looks professional." 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 Francesco Rubinato
Francesco Rubinato is an Italian maker of classic writing goods from Treviso, near Venice. Building on a family pen shop dating to 1957, Francesco Rubinato and Patrizia Rizzato founded Rubinato s.r.l. in 1990 to produce glass pens crafted by Venetian artisans, calligraphy inks mixed in the company's own workshop, sealing wax, brass seals and writing sets. Its old-fashioned writing line, made in Italy, is sold to gift and stationery shops worldwide.
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.
