An important point to maintenance is to prevent ink from sludging things up. If you use the pen often, every month or so rinse it out with tap water until you get almost clear water coming out (draw the water in just like you're loading it with ink, then expel it - repeat a few times). If you use it sporadically, rinse all of the ink out before storing it and leave it empty.
For paper, I think 100% cotton is considered best. Generally any of the better quality stationery papers will work fine. Crane is a good name.
