Specs
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 Tono & Lims x Little Craft Fest
A collaboration between Japanese ink brand Tono & Lims (founded 2018) and Little Craft Fest, a Texas-based stationery and craft event in the United States. The exclusive water-based inks carry Texas-inspired names such as 'Bluebonnet Dreams', 'Texas Twilight' and 'Big Bend Reflection', and the event has hosted an Ink Lab where attendees create custom colors with the Tono & Lims team.
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.
