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 Il Papiro
Il Papiro is a Florentine paper house founded in 1976 by Francesco Giannini and Gianni Parenti, two young Florentines devoted to their city's craft traditions. It keeps alive old techniques of hand paper decoration such as marbling and woodblock printing, producing marbled papers, stationery, desk accessories and calligraphy items including inks. The company has opened stores internationally, including New York (1984), Palm Beach, Melbourne and London.
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.
