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 RNY INKS
RNY INKS is a small independent fountain pen ink maker whose hand-mixed colours (including series such as Basic, Throwaway, Tea and Metallurgy) are catalogued by ink collectors. Beyond its inks the maker is best known in the hobby for publishing "RNY INKS' Guide to Fountain Pen Ink Making", a freely circulated multi-chapter primer on dye-based, pigment and iron gall ink formulation. The brand has no significant retail presence and its inks circulate mostly through enthusiast trading.
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.
