Blue
David Oscarson 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 David Oscarson
David Oscarson is an American luxury writing instrument brand that has produced limited edition pens since 2000. Each collection is crafted in sterling silver using traditional guilloché engraving and hot (hard) enamel work, and the brand's pens have won honors including Robb Report's Best of the Best and Pen World's Pen of the Year awards.
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.
