How Ink is Made: Visually Stunning Video
This is a visually stunning video from The Printing Ink Company, showing how ink is created out of powder and varnish. I started watching this thinking I’d return and finish it later… but got sucked right in. I’ve never seen a YouTube video look this good before!
My favorite quotation from the short film: “Well you can see there’s a lot more to ink making, than just mixing two things together. There’s a lot of craftsmanship, there’s a lot of science, and there’s a lot of passion.”
Spend the nine minutes here, and treat your eyes to some unbelievable color. Gorgeousness and gorgeosity.

3 comments, First, I’m color blind. Second, not really. Third, anyone else really want nachos and mexican food after seeing all that yellow ink in the beginning.
