Blue Night
Antigua's is one of the 713 brands in Inktend's built-in ink catalog.
Paper & pairing
Blues and navies are the most broadly "safe" fountain pen colors: legible, professional, and unlikely to raise eyebrows in an office. 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 Antigua's
Antigua's is a Spanish artisan pen maker based in Morata de Tajuña, near Madrid. The workshop handturns fountain pens from materials like ebonite and acrylic resin without molds or industrial processes, fitting German JoWo nibs on premium models. It also produces its own line of roughly twenty fountain pen ink colors in 50 ml bottles, sold through its website and select Spanish retailers.
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.
