Winter 2024 - Indigo
Archer & Olive 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 Archer & Olive
Archer & Olive is a US stationery brand founded in 2018 by Bonnie Kuhl and based in Cedar Park, Texas. Known for dot-grid journals with thick 160 gsm paper, notebooks, paint pens and art supplies, the company frames journaling and creativity as tools for mental wellness.
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.
