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 Romeo
ROMEO is the original writing instrument brand of Tokyo stationer Itoya, born in 1914 as a fountain pen line for gentlemen and ladies during Japan's era of Western-influenced modernization. The brand was revived in 2004 with a restoration model for Itoya's 100th anniversary, followed in 2009 by the signature ROMEO No.3 ballpoint. Today ROMEO covers pens, leather goods, notebooks and cocktail-inspired colored inks.
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.
