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 S.T. Dupont
S.T. Dupont is a French luxury goods house founded in 1872 and based in Paris. Originally famed for leather goods and later its lacquered petrol and gas lighters, the company expanded into high-end writing instruments and is known for finely lacquered and metalworked fountain pens. Its pens and lighters remain collector items, often using Chinese lacquer and precious metal finishes.
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.
