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 Standard Bindery
Standard Bindery is a Brisbane, Australia stationery business, formerly named BookBinders, that combines a retail shop with a working bindery reviving traditional crafts such as bookbinding and wax seals. It produced its own line of Australian-made fountain pen inks, with names like Old Friend and Road Trip meant to reflect Australian nature and shared memories; the ink line has since been discontinued, with remaining stock sold through specialty pen retailers.
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.
