Blue
Scrikss is one of the 713 brands in Inktend's built-in ink catalog.
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 Scrikss
Founded in Istanbul in 1963, Scrikss is Turkey's best-known writing instrument maker — its name comes from the Catalan word "escriure," meaning "to write." The brand's first fully Turkish-made fountain pen shipped in 1966, and today Scrikss exports to more than 70 countries.
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.
