12 Macaron Colors - Chocolate Cherries
Ban Mi is one of the 713 brands in Inktend's built-in ink catalog.
Paper & pairing
Reds and pinks show the most dramatic shading of any color family: expect real variation between the edges and center of each letter. 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 Ban Mi
Ban Mi Stationery is a fountain pen ink maker from Shanghai, China, known for some of the more unusual ink shades on the market. It produces dye-based inks in both regular and shimmer versions, including a high-sheen series, sold in 15ml bottles through international specialty retailers such as The Desk Bandit.
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.
