Color Traveler is one of the 713 brands in Inktend's built-in ink catalog.
Paper & pairing
Warm tones (oranges, yellows, ambers) show strong contrast between light and dark areas of each stroke, which is part of why they're popular with broader nibs. 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 Color Traveler
Color Traveler is a Japanese fountain pen ink brand from Tayama Bungu, a stationery company in Hiroshima that has been in business for over 115 years. The line is built around the theme of travel, with colors inspired by destination towns, their histories and local specialties.
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.
