A Chief Ink Maker shows how colour and ink is created from the raw ingredients--powder, varnish, and passion. Everything designers and printers need to know about the process, the challenges and joy of ink making.

That was great to watch, more to it than you would think. Thanks for posting.

Great video! What I found most impressive was not seeing a smudge of ink on a single person who worked there. I'd be fired within the hour! :)

That was interesting to watch. I spent most of my working life in the printing industry. The first place I went to work had its own Ink Manufacturing department. Its surprising the technology used today is virtually the same as back then, other than the current use of spectrophotometers to very accurately confirm the pantone colours.
