Malayan Apple (Makopa 1938)

Color: A saturated magenta-purple with vivid green sheen.

Special Note: How much of the green sheen you see depends on the nib size and how wet your fountain pen writes. With extra-fine or fine nibs that have a moderate flow, you'll see more of the magenta base color. With larger nibs, the green sheen will show up more. This ink is really beautiful!

Inspiration & Background: Part of Vinta Inks' Heritage Collection. Malayan Apple, also known as Makopa, is a bell-shaped fruit commonly grown in the Philippines. The year 1938 refers to when its scientific name was first published
