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 IWI
IWI is the house brand of International Writing Instrument Corp., a Taiwanese manufacturer whose pen production dates to 1975, with the company formally established in 1985 and recorded as Taiwan's largest metal pen exporter. The IWI brand itself launched in 2015, offering fountain pens, rollerballs and ballpoints that pair Taiwanese manufacturing with affordable design, exported to more than 80 countries.
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.
