Malachite
Scribe is one of the 713 brands in Inktend's built-in ink catalog.
Paper & pairing
Greens read as more expressive than blue or black, a common choice for people who want color without leaving the realm of "still looks professional." This ink will behave predictably on most fountain-pen-friendly paper. Cheap, highly absorbent paper (standard copier paper) will dull any ink's saturation and can cause feathering or bleed-through with wetter nibs.
About Scribe
Scribe, formerly Scribe Writing Essentials, is a Philippine specialty retailer of fine writing instruments and stationery founded in 2002 by Marian Ong. It carries international fountain pen and ink brands such as Pelikan, Sailor, Platinum, TWSBI, Kaweco, J. Herbin and Noodler's through its webstore and retail branches in Metro Manila and Cebu. The company rebranded to simply 'Scribe' in 2017.
Storing and using the bottle
Bottled fountain pen ink has an effectively long shelf life when kept capped and out of direct sunlight: most inks remain usable for years. The main risk isn't the ink spoiling, it's a pen sitting inked and unused for weeks: that's what causes clogs, not the ink's age.
