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 Teranishi
Teranishi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. is an Osaka-based Japanese ink and stationery manufacturer founded in 1916 by Choichi Teranishi and incorporated in 1948. It is best known for the Magic Ink felt-tip marker, a long-selling product launched in 1953, and for its Guitar brand of art materials and inks, which today includes the Guitar line of fountain pen 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.
