Sorry That's the Wrong Answer - Answer 1
Question 1: Where did India ink originate?
The correct answer is:
India Ink is traditionally a carbon black ink mixed with gum and resin, molded
into sticks. The name 'India Ink' is thought to be a misnomer which originated
in Europe when this ink, actually from China, was imported via the Indies. So
India ink does not necessarily come from India.
Indian ink also known as Chinese ink is a mixture of charcoal ashes and
distilled water. Some use vinegar or alcohol to make the mixture but water
create a longer lasting mixture.
