Copying Ink

This is usually prepared by adding a little sugar to ordinary black ink, which for this purpose should be very rich in
color, and preferably made galls prepared by heat.

1. – Sugar candy or lump sugar, 1 ounce; or molasses or moist sugar, 1½ ounces; rich black ink, 1½ ounces; rich black
ink, 1½ pints: dissolve.

2. – Solazza juice, 2 ounces; mildale, ½ pint; dissolve, strain, and triturate with lampblack (previously heated to dull
redness in a covered vessel), ¼ ounce; when the mixture is complete, add of strong black, 1½ pints; mix well, and in
2 or 3 hours decant the clear.

After making the above mixtures, they must be tried wit a common steel pen, and if they do not flow freely, some more
unprepared ink should be added until they are found to do so.
