Specs
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 Matsuno Industry (Seria)
Matsuno Industry (Matsuno Kogyo) is a Japanese manufacturer founded in 1947 as a glassmaker, long known for glass beads, marbles and hobby goods. Among pen fans it is known for making the very inexpensive fountain pens and matching ink cartridges sold through the Japanese 100-yen shop chain Seria.
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.
