What is an ink?

Inks are colored liquids or pastes used for writing, printing, drawing, or decorative purposes. They typically consist of pigments or dyes suspended in a liquid base, along with other additives to improve flow, adhesion, and durability. Inks are essential in industries like publishing, packaging, textiles, and art. Different types of inks are formulated for specific uses, such as printer ink, tattoo ink, or industrial marking. The choice of ink depends on the application and the surface being printed or marked.
