Basics
- This page goes over various ways to make simple ink (Complex colors may be difficult, and less economical over purchases)
- Black ink is the most obious choice
Black Ink
- Some sort of solvent (Ethanol or some other alchohol should work)
- Dark Powder ( Carbon Black is Traditional (also called lamp black) , but powderized charcoal may work if it is fine enough of a powder )
- Optional Binding Agent such as Gum Arabic / Gum Acacia, Xanthan Gum or Gellan Gum to produce a more viscous fluid (perhaps thinkining agents, could use some testing) (supposedly beeswax mixed with carbon black , makes a pretty good marking agent for metalwork etc, VERY easy to do diy)
- See if Emulsifiers are needed
- ASSUMING it could be equivalent it could be used to refill markers, stamps, and ink cartriges for cheap. It also has hobby use for art

Useful Links
- One Formulation using Carbon Black, Diluted Alchohol, and Gum Arabic they used a mortar and pestle (see if a blender/magnetic stirrer could work for large batched)
