I guess I am just a dummy, but how do you use this ink?

Well there are several ways I think. I use it for calligraphy and own a dip pen for it. I know it's also used for sumi-e paintings using a brush, and for that it's sometimes mixed with water. Do not try putting this ink in a fountain pen or a brush with an internal reservoir because it will clog them up.

can this be used for fountain pens?

No, do not use this with fountain pens. It will clog them up.

Is this ink archival?

If you can find someone who can read the bottle, the info might be there 😁 If you want archival quality for calligraphy, use artist quality gouache, dilute it to the right strength, and add a few drops of gum arabic. Hope this helps!
