Paper & pairing

Purples sit at the boundary of professional and playful, one of the more personality-forward choices that still reads clearly on the page. 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 Lennon Tool Bar

Lennon Tool Bar is a Taiwanese ink studio founded in 2014 in Tamsui, Taiwan. It began by promoting the arts and crafts of indigo dyeing, a trade that flourished in Taiwan a century ago, and its hand-made fountain pen inks draw inspiration from traditional dyeing colors and Taiwanese culture and scenery.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What color family is Globe Amaranth?
Globe Amaranth falls into Inktend's purples family based on its typical swatch color.
Does Globe Amaranth have sheen?
Globe Amaranth is not typically noted for sheen. If you want that effect, browse similarly colored inks tagged with sheen in the ink library.
How should I store a bottle of Globe Amaranth?
Years, easily, as long as it stays capped and out of direct sunlight. The thing that actually shortens an ink's usable life is sitting unused inside a pen, not sitting on a shelf.
What paper works best with Globe Amaranth?
It behaves predictably on most fountain-pen-friendly paper. Stick to something reasonably absorbent-resistant, since cheap copier paper dulls saturation and can feather.
