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 Tom's Studio
Tom's Studio is a British maker of writing tools based in Dorset, England, founded by product designer Tom and his wife Gemma, a calligrapher. What began as a side project making calligraphy tools has grown into a workshop producing fountain pens, refillable fineliners, nibs and inks with an emphasis on sustainability and refillability.
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.
