Special Kind of INK:
1. INVISIBLE INK - Sympathetic Ink. Made from salt of metals. Others made with mixture of milk and lemon juice which turn brown when heated.
Invisible INK appeared on paper when heated. When chemical reaction is supplemented to see color
2. RUBBER STAMP INK - Moist when on its ink pad. This ink dries fast once it touched the paper.
3.COPYING INK - Ink found in carbon paper. Mimeographing and duplicating machines need this ink
4. MARKING INK - Made esp. for wood and fabric (textile)
5. RECORDING INK - Ink used in this medium is mixed with glycerol to keep from evaporating. Significant use for SEISMOGRAPHs - EARTHQUAKE DETECTORS
IMPORTANT FACTS:
ROMANS have their INK from black fluid thrown off by the cuttlefish when its frightened. Sounds ridiculous or a myth. It's up to you to believe that.
SEPIA INK - Dries dark brown on surface of paper
MEDIEVAL - Black and blue ink
Other Sources of INK : Crushed galls, oak galls, mixed with iron salt, copper and green vitriol, berries from variety of plants

Aside from SOOT, INK was derived from the following SOURCE:
1. NUTGALLS - Lumpy growth found on trees. Lump that mimicked like a cancer or cancerous part of a tree trunk. The lump actually was a site of insects when they burrowed deep down to lay their eggs under the bark.
2. LUMPBLACK - Dull black soot. Made from burning oils, waxes, resins, and other fuels without enough air. Used for smooth surface.
3. BLUE BLACK INK - Made from iron-salt water. organic acid is mixed, tannin added from nutgalls
4. PERMANENT BLUE-BLACK INK - This ink can stain anything from rugs to clothing.
5. BLUE, GREEN, RED - Colored ink. Chemical dye solution is placed. Red Ink is used for checking.
6. FOUNTAIN PENS - Coffee powder mixed with water
7. BALLPOINT PEN INK - Significance of this ink? This kind of ink requires rotating ball on its system to stop or control the flow of ink. Ink is thicker . A or Average type of ink requires half as thick

ORIGIN OF INK
The marvelous world of printing and writing is nothing without INK.
INK the colored liquid used for printing and writing. It is the most important liquid used in sending messages. Without ink do you think we'll be able to to know the World's History? The past, your genealogy or your family tree? The beginning of time and when life originates? we can somehow learned our history through word of mouth form our ancestors down to the generation of today. But who can able to relate the vast of informations through show and tell, and by talking out loud? No one has a brain as big as computer with a capacity and volume of more than 200 gigabytes. It's impossible right? Even robots don't have that kind of program.
Civilization started at the time of Christ. Any complaints will be dealt with accordingly. Make sure you can provide evidences and miracles. Otherwise out of the ordinary is not valid.
There are at least 3 OLDEST INK known to men namely:
1. EGYPTIAN INK - According to the Scholars and Egyptologists, mummies have their mummy clothing > linen wrapped around their body and covered with hieroglyphics in ink made of SOOT, water and vegetable gums.
SOOT - fine powder consist of carbon
2. CHINA's INK - Made of SOOT of TUNG OIL from TUNG TREE and arabic gum. This kind of ink is waterproof. It sticks to the medium for hundreds of years.
3.INDIA's INK -Oldest form of ink but used mainly for decoration. They used lumpblack mixed with water.

Eye Opener
Would you believe that printing a newspaper just on a single edition would cost the printer of publishing company ONE POUND OF INK?
This kind of INK covers only 100,000 square inches of surface. The surface of metals, plastic, fabric, wood and synthetic materials required different kinds of ink.
Thinking about one of my journals when I printed them is costly. How the authors of books gained profit from their book sale? That's their business-trade secret and I'm not a whistle blower when it comes to their business. It's not my business therefore I have to have my own ways and means.
There are too many books, so little time. Some books that were recently revised were already been burnt if not revised. Others were on sale at the bookstore along the shopping malls in other 3rd world countries. Millions were probably donated in libraries where its needed by the school children instead of searching for them in their computer. Probably not all books are registered or can be found in the internet.
When is the time that I was doing research about history of a Portuguese explorer only to be surprised about the change of datas. It was actually the original story of a known Portuguese adventurer changed by another author into a story of a British explorer. Though the exploration or discovery, plus the route was the same, same event and date of exploration but names were changed. The Portuguese didn't die but reported missing in action. What a joke I told myself. Thinking the presence of internet could eventually lead us reading history to a new level. Whose who to believe. Maybe in 2050 or Year 3000 the whole World History is nothing but fantasy.
Nothing but pigment of imagination thereof unless of course you have all the FACTS, ARTIFACTS and FIGURES in a museum. Goodness lots of monetary values.
