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 Otto Hutt

Otto Hutt is a German writing instrument manufacturer founded in 1920 in Pforzheim, the traditional centre of the German jewellery industry, originally specialising in sterling silver pocket items and fine pens. Its designs draw on Bauhaus principles, and its fountain pens and other instruments are still made in Germany with a high share of handwork.

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