How ink is made: a voluptuous process revealed in a mouth-watering video
https://youtu.be/Fypi6dAJB8EAyun Halliday of Open Culture wrote about this luscious ink-making video.
As depicted above, ink making is as voluptuous a process as making a high end candy bar. Having grown up around the printing floor of a daily newspaper, I know that inks pungent aroma is the opposite of chocolate-y, but my mouth still started to water. Was it the commercial-ready classical soundtrack or hearing Chief Ink Maker Peter Welfare comparing the pigments gooey vehicle to honey?I wont be dipping my tongue in the ink pot any time soon, but the multistep four color process by which powdered cyan, magenta, yellow, and black hues become press-bound ink proved far more sensual than expected.
