Select bottles and storage practices that preserve ink quality and safety.

Choose bottles with wide bases to reduce tipping and secure caps to prevent evaporation Label bottles with ink name and opening date and store upright in a cool dark place. For frequent use decant small amounts into a pen cup to avoid contaminating the main bottle. Keep syringes and pipettes for safe transfers and avoid mixing inks unless you understand chemical compatibility. Proper storage preserves color and flow characteristics.
