Vinta Inks - Malayan Apple - Makopa 1938

My new favorite ink color. I will have to order more soon!

The purple is a much darker, much bluer shade on my papers, and I LOVE it! On cheaper paper it is just a vibrant purple that stands well on its own, but pair it with thicker or fountain pen-specific paper and a gorgeous, muted green pools in the wettest spots (of which there are plenty! This is a juicy ink.) When it first dried down with the green shading for me, I nearly squealed with how much it made me think of an apple in the middle of ripening, not quite ready but not too fresh either. Currently in my work pen, I will be ordering a full size bottle soon and keeping it in my regular rotation.
