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 Landolt Arbenz
Landolt-Arbenz is a historic Zurich stationery house founded in 1882 by merchant Franz Landolt and his wife Elise at Bahnhofstrasse 66. It specializes in fine writing instruments, papeterie and writing accessories, and has long ranked among Europe's premier addresses for high-quality writing culture. In 2019 its flagship store moved to Poststrasse 10 near Paradeplatz.
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.
