What is "India ink"?
India ink is a type of black ink made from carbon black, water, and a binder, traditionally used for drawing and writing. It is known for its deep, rich color and smooth flow. India ink is often used with brushes or pens in art, calligraphy, and illustration due to its ability to create bold, crisp lines and shades. The ink is water-resistant once dry, making it suitable for creating lasting artwork. Artists and writers have used India ink for centuries to produce detailed, high-contrast works.
