Paper & pairing

Warm tones (oranges, yellows, ambers) show strong contrast between light and dark areas of each stroke, which is part of why they're popular with broader nibs. 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 Kiwi Inks

Kiwi Inks is a small American maker of handcrafted fountain pen inks, run by a two-person team. Every bottle is mixed by hand and finished with a hand-painted label showing the ink inside, and the shop offers customization such as adjusting wetness, shimmer or sheen to suit a specific pen, with the lineup rotating every one to two months.

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 Liquid Copper?
Liquid Copper falls into Inktend's warm tones family based on its typical swatch color.
Does Liquid Copper have sheen?
Liquid Copper 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 Liquid Copper?
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 Liquid Copper?
It behaves predictably on most fountain-pen-friendly paper. Stick to something reasonably absorbent-resistant, since cheap copier paper dulls saturation and can feather.
