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 YaChing Style
YaChing Style is a Taiwanese brand led by designer Lai Ya-Ching, who works with artisans to create high-end writing goods and stationery. The brand is best known for its glass-nib fountain pens, and also produces writing instruments using exotic woods, leather and maki-e decoration, along with inks. Its products are sold through retailers in Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong and beyond.
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.
