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 Maiora
Maiora is an Italian pen maker founded in Naples in January 2018 by Nino Marino, co-founder and longtime head of Delta, after that company closed in 2017. Continuing the Neapolitan penmaking tradition, Maiora launched with the Nettuno 1911 collection, and in 2022 the company acquired the Delta brand, returning it to production.
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.
