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 Otto Hutt
Otto Hutt is a German writing instrument manufacturer founded in 1920 in Pforzheim, the traditional centre of the German jewellery industry, originally specialising in sterling silver pocket items and fine pens. Its designs draw on Bauhaus principles, and its fountain pens and other instruments are still made in Germany with a high share of handwork.
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.
