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 Daimaru Fujii Central
Daimaru Fujii Central (大丸藤井セントラル) is one of Japan's largest specialty stationery stores, located in central Sapporo, Hokkaido. The business traces back to 1892, when Senzo Fujii opened a paper and stationery wholesale operation in Sapporo; the current Daimaru Building housing the store was built in 1951. The multi-floor shop stocks fountain pens and other fine writing instruments alongside art materials and a vast range of stationery.
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.
