Paper & pairing
Greens read as more expressive than blue or black, a common choice for people who want color without leaving the realm of "still looks professional." 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 Wet Pen
The Wet Pen is a fountain pen and ink retailer based in Seattle, Washington, run by its founder Matthew. Alongside pens and stationery, the shop makes and bottles its own house inks named after Pacific Northwest landmarks such as Deception Pass, Diablo Lake, and Gas Works Park, small batches of which often sell out quickly.
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.
