Archaeologists state that prehistoric times people used soil, blood, stones, plants and crushed bones to get different ink colors with which they painted their caves. They also added fat and plant sap to the mixture to make it more durable. Egiptians and Chinese people developed their own ink types, from strong colors to nankin, respectively. In the Renaissance period, artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo created inks using their secret formulas.
Nowadays, the basic process of making ink is the same: the pigment is mixed with substances that give it durability.
