Plume (Salimbay 1949)

Swatch

Water Resistance

Vinta Inks Plume (Salimbay 1949) is a bright purple ink with deep blue and pink undertones, featuring a restrained pink-gold shimmer that creates an almost pearlized, magical appearance. The ink performs well with excellent flow and minimal feathering or bleed-through, though it requires medium to broad nibs to fully showcase its color complexity and shimmer. It is not waterproof and may clog if left unused for extended periods, but regular use and proper horizontal storage prevent this issue.
