고래가 난다요 (Flying Whale)
Inkyway 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 Inkyway
Inkyway is a South Korean fountain pen ink brand that launched its ink blending services at the Seoul Pen Show in spring 2019. It produces expressive small-batch inks in collaboration with a Korean ink manufacturer and is known for whimsically named colors.
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.
