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 Stilograph Corsani
Stilograph Corsani is a pen and watch shop founded in 1924 in Rome, Italy, located at Via Ottaviano 79 near the Vatican. It sells fountain pens, rollerballs, watches, inks and leather goods from major brands such as Montblanc, Visconti, Lamy and Pilot, and also operates an online store.
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.
