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 Chibaya
Chibaya is a Japanese stationery retailer known among ink collectors for its shop-original fountain pen inks, which are produced for the store by Sailor. Its limited shop-exclusive colours circulate mainly within Japan.
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.
