Adelia Retro - Margaret Orange Yellow
Rye-Ryu Co. Ltd 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 Rye-Ryu Co. Ltd
RYU-RYU Co., Ltd. is a stationery and paper-goods maker based in Ashiya, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, established in 1983. Under a license agreement with glassware manufacturer Ishizuka Glass, the company plans and sells the Adelia Retro ink series for fountain pens and glass pens, with colors inspired by the nostalgic Showa-era Adelia Retro glassware designs.
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.
