What is "ink"?
Ink is a liquid or gel used for writing, drawing, or printing. It is made from a mixture of pigments or dyes, which provide color, and other ingredients that help it flow smoothly and dry properly. Ink can be used in pens, printers, and various artistic tools, and it comes in many colors and types. Inks can be water-based, which are easy to clean and quick-drying, oil-based, which are more durable and resistant to water, or permanent, which are designed to resist fading and smudging.
