Saitama Ink - Chichibu Whisky
Papier Platz is one of the 713 brands in Inktend's built-in ink catalog.
Paper & pairing
Warm tones (oranges, yellows, ambers) show strong contrast between light and dark areas of each stroke, which is part of why they're popular with broader nibs. 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 Papier Platz
Papier Platz is a Japanese stationery brand of Cres Co., Ltd., a company established in December 1977 and based in Saitama City. The brand makes design-focused stationery including miniature masking tapes, glass pens and the award-winning "Saitama ink" (彩玉ink) line of colored inks, and also produces regional collaboration goods. Its glass pen won a 2023 Saitama New Product Award.
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.
