Fanyantan is one of the 713 brands in Inktend's built-in ink catalog.
Paper & pairing
Greens read as more expressive than blue or black — a common choice for people who want color without leaving the realm of "still looks professional." 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 Fanyantan
Fanyantan is a Chinese fountain pen ink studio known for sheening, multichromatic and chromoshading inks with unusual color-shifting effects. The brand has collaborated with other studios on special collections and sells its inks through Chinese platforms such as Taobao as well as international retailers and AliExpress.
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.
