Paper & pairing
Greens read as more expressive than blue or black, a common choice for people who want color without leaving the realm of "still looks professional." 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 Lapis Bard
Lapis Bard is a luxury writing and lifestyle brand of William Penn, India's premier fine-writing retailer. William Penn took the brand forward from 2016, developing a British-inspired line of writing instruments along with inks, leather goods and desk accessories. Lapis Bard pens and accessories are sold through William Penn stores and luxury retailers.
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.
