Surfactants reduce the surface tension of the ink; distilled water has a surface tension of 72 dyn/cm (72 × 10 −3 N/m), but the desirable value for ink is between 38 and 45 dyn/cm (38 to 45 × 10 −3 N/m). If the ink's surface tension were too high, then it would not flow through the pen; if it were too low, then the ink would run out of ...
A fountain pen is a writing instrument that uses a metal nib to apply water-based ink, or special pigment ink—suitable for fountain pens—to paper.It is distinguished from earlier dip pens by using an internal reservoir to hold ink, eliminating the need to repeatedly dip the pen in an inkwell during use.
A diagram of a typical pointed nib Quill pen and ink bottle. A nib is the part of a quill, dip pen, fountain pen, ball point, or stylus which comes into contact with the writing surface in order to deposit ink. Different types of nibs vary in their purpose, shape and size, as well as the material from which they are made.
It is crucial that offset ink resist water-in-ink emulsification (i.e., repel rather than absorb water). It also should withstand degradation by the fountain solution that covers the non-printing areas of the engraved plate. Offset ink needs to be very rich in pigment so that its full color vibrancy is perceptible, even in minute quantity. [2] [3]
Artificially carbonated sparkling water, on the other hand, has bubbles added during bottling. While it provides similar fizz, it lacks the unique mineral profile of natural sparkling water.
Gel pens. Compared to other inks, gel ink has higher melting point viscosity, which supports a higher proportion of pigments in the medium.The pigments are typically copper phthalocyanine, carbon black and iron oxides, and the gel is made up of water and biopolymers, such as xanthan gum and tragacanth gum, as well as some types of polyacrylate thickeners.
