Paper & pairing

Blues and navies are the most broadly "safe" fountain pen colors: legible, professional, and unlikely to raise eyebrows in an office. 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 Ishimaru Bunkoudou

Ishimaru Bunkoudou is a stationery store founded in 1883 in the port city of Nagasaki, often described as Kyushu's largest and most iconic stationery shop, with a six-story flagship on the Hamamachi shopping street. It sells original fountain pen ink lines, including the cocktail-themed Color Bar Ink series of over 90 colors and the Nagasaki Bikei series inspired by local scenery, alongside Nagasaki Bikei fountain pens built on Sailor's Profit model.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What color family is Peace Blue?
Peace Blue falls into Inktend's blues & navies family based on its typical swatch color.
Does Peace Blue have sheen?
Peace Blue is not typically noted for sheen. If you want that effect, browse similarly colored inks tagged with sheen in the ink library.
How should I store a bottle of Peace Blue?
Years, easily, as long as it stays capped and out of direct sunlight. The thing that actually shortens an ink's usable life is sitting unused inside a pen, not sitting on a shelf.
What paper works best with Peace Blue?
It behaves predictably on most fountain-pen-friendly paper. Stick to something reasonably absorbent-resistant, since cheap copier paper dulls saturation and can feather.
