CHAPTER 1: I. Background of the Study
A highlighter is a form of a felt-tip marker pen which can be used to draw attention to certain words or sentences of documents by marking them with translucent, see-through colors. It is an essential stationary item for students as well as working people. The ink used in a highlighter pen or in any other pens plays an important part in defining the reading experience and comprehension, as well as the visual impact of the written message, to the person reading them. The ink, is of no small importance, and in the end, it is the one that determines the significance of the pen itself.
Ink is one of the most important components of writing tool today. There are several brands of ink today in the market.

The selection of ink is an important decision one must make in terms of the performance of one’s pen. The wrong ink means a pen that one may struggle with to use.
This study attempts to find an alternative source of ink that can be used for highlighters.
The sap of Powder-puff fruits is purplish and rich in color. It is this dye that interests the researcher to pursue the possibility of
