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 Style Dee
Style Dee is a Japanese stationery and design goods shop based in Osaka, with a store in the Daibiru Honkan building in Nakanoshima. Connected to the Osaka pen retailer Giftionery Delta, it sells fountain pens and writing instruments from makers such as Pilot, Sailor, Platinum and LAMY, along with design stationery and exclusive items from brands like Tono & Lims. The shop also operates its own online store at styledee.jp.
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.
