7 Sins - lust 色慾
Jin Chen is one of the 713 brands in Inktend's built-in ink catalog.
Paper & pairing
Reds and pinks show the most dramatic shading of any color family: expect real variation between the edges and center of each letter. 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 Jin Chen
Jin Chen (Jinchen) is a Chinese fountain pen ink brand sold mainly through Chinese marketplaces such as AliExpress and Taobao. It is known for inexpensive bottled inks with poetic Chinese names, including a Seven Deadly Sins set, gradient color-shift inks and colors such as Sea Color. Little formal company information is published in English, but its inks are regularly reviewed by fountain pen enthusiasts.
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.
