Beneficiaries of the Product
Malabar Spinach Berries ink belongs to the agricultural side of STEM. It is
because we used alugbati berries or Malabar Spinach Berries to make the alternative
ink. As we know, planting alugbati and using it as an ink is more on the part of
agriculture. We focused on it to find something so useful for everyone, not only in the
field of STEM but to almost everyone. This product can help STEM students to become
aware that there are some materials and ways that can use as ink. It is suitable for
everyone because it can be used by anyone, old or young, as long as they have a pen.
We know that ink is very important in the society and industry.

MSB Ink will be beneficial to many of us. It will benefit students, teachers,
researchers and everyone who use ink when writing. Malabar Spinach Berries Ink is an
alternative ink that can be made by everyone because it’s so easy and cheap. The
researchers invention may help other people not to spend more money. Some of us buy
a high quality ink if they run out of it. But for the researchers you don’t need to spend
that much, you can make it on your own and also the materials can be found at your
place. It’s good for everyone if the pen you are using has run out of ink. This kind of ink
will benefit us in so many ways, it will be chemical-less, budget friendly and a quality ink
that we can rely from now on.
Product as the Solution
Our research problem that we are trying to solve is if there are anyways to gain
or produce ink with simple and cheap ingredients. We are trying to find a way to save
the money that we buy for pens that are expensive but can only be use for 2-3 weeks
and sometimes it is easily gets broken and can no longer be use. Pens are expensive
because of the ingredients of the inks that is use to make it, and student always use
them in school or other activities which means that there’s a lot of consumer that don’t
know that they can make ink at home and reuse the pen that are empty.

The product will be very useful especially for the student whose having lack of
supply. If the results is successful and really help it will be known as an alternative ink.
For those students that run out of ink can make an alternative using the things that can
be found in surroundings. Like the research that come up to the idea that Malabar
Spinach Berries can be use as an alternative ink. Not only your product can be made
easily but also Malabar ink is non toxic like the other usual ink. So for everyone who
doesn’t have enough money to buy expensive ink why not to make something usable
and can easily made. For example marker pen it is refillable so if you run out of ink you
can refill it using the Malabar Spinach Berries ink.

The ink we make will be the solution to the problem because the problem we
thought was for everyone. Almost all problems are product solution, just us our problem
is for students who do not have writing materials, our research will be the product
because it will be the solution for the people who doesn’t have enough product of ink.

Malabar Spinach Berries Ink is very popular especially among STEM students.
Malabar Spinach Berries Ink can be substitute for chemical and toxic pens that are often
used by students. Our research product can contribute a lot to STEM students because
our product can be refilled it their pens run out of ink. This product will also help them
discover other things that can be made into ink. Some of us just prefer to buy a pen
when their pens run out of ink, but here they can make their own ink. This product they
can use it for their surveys, writings, drawing, etc. it will also help them to level up their
production in the future or to think of more unique or interesting ingredients that can be
substituted as ink.

This ink can be so functional since it's a substitute with those other inks we
always use. Having a new own kind of kink can be helpful for us student so we don't
need to change our pens and other writing things we need while studying. We all know
we student uses pen in such a lot of things like answering exams, writing important
details, writing notes for us to review etc. Having an alternative inks can be good for us
if the resources are available to us like this Malabar Spinach Berries ink, it can be useful
for us. Using alternative ink can consider us a resourceful student and we also can save
money instead of buying pens if our pen is already used we just need to refill. This will
be useful in our future projects using Malabar Spinach Berries ink will be good for us
and make people uses this will find it useful. Using available resources will make us
resourceful and saves us money, that’s why this will be very useful for us all.
