Paper & pairing
Purples sit at the boundary of professional and playful, one of the more personality-forward choices that still reads clearly on the page. 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 The Great Indian
"The Great Indian Ink" is the tagline of Syahi, an Indian pen and ink brand established in 2017 by Sanay Shah and Aayush Bansai; syahi is the Urdu word for ink. The company crafts fountain pens from kiln-dried heartwood reinforced with brass and finished with natural oils, and sells bottled inks for fountain, calligraphy and dip pens under the Syahi – The Great Indian Ink name.
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.
