Master the craft of ink with practical, proven methods you can follow today. This edition of The Manufacture of Ink compiles a range of hands-on techniques for making different types of ink, from green and metallic varieties to solid India ink. It presents concrete ingredients, steps, and cautions that help writers, artists, and professionals achieve durable, vivid results.
In clear, process-driven sections, you’ll find detailed instructions for preparing green inks, including formulations that use Prussian blue, gamboge, chromium compounds, and gum-based mixes. The text explains how to adjust color depth, durability, and anti-corrosive properties, with multiple alternative formulas and mixing notes.
You’ll also learn about metallic inks, including genuine gold and silver inks made from leaf or foil, plus copper and bronze options and imitation versions. The guide discusses how to obtain a lustrous finish and how different metals age on paper, as well as how to create colored inks with a metallic sheen using specially prepared pigments.
The book covers solid India or Chinese ink, describing traditional preparation from finely divided carbon, purification steps, and the shaping and drying of the ink sticks. It explains how these inks are used for long-lasting, durable writing and drawing, with attention to quality control and moulding.
