Paper & pairing

Blues and navies are the most broadly "safe" fountain pen colors: legible, professional, and unlikely to raise eyebrows in an office. 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 Push/Pull

Push/Pull is a cooperative art gallery, supply store and community space in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, USA, which began in 2013 as a studio and gallery space founded by artist Maxx Follis-Goodkind. Dedicated to underground art and comix, the store also makes its own art supplies in-house, including fountain pen inks, watercolors and gouache mixed with professional-grade pigments and dyes.

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