Ink

How is ink made? I didn't quite believe a description of this video, that ink making had a very personal touch to it. Were they going to crush up pigment on a stone by hand for industrial purposes? But the mesmerising quality of the process captures something that really makes our printed world the vibrant, textured brilliance that it is today.

A long video, but worth the incredible effort used to make the ink we take for granted. Also check out the blog post about Canon's playful use of ink and sound.
