Recette: Violet Logwood Ink
This logwood ink has a beautiful, blue-tinged violet hue which soon becomes much more reddish when exposed to light and turns rather brownish after a few weeks.
Traitement
Add gum arabic to the hot liquid and stir until it is dissolved.
Potash alum needs to be dissolved in hot water before adding it to the solution.
Remarque
The production requires the following tools: a scale, mortar and pestle, an enameled pot, glass rods or wooden sticks for stirring, glasses, funnels and filters.
Water
Only demineralized water (#65000) is used in the recipes.
Color result
Since many ingredients used in ink recipes are of natural origin, the color result may vary. Deviations from the original recipe may also change the result.
Filtration
The inks are filtered with paper filters.
Cooking
Keep the cooking pot closed with a matching lid.
Shelf life
Moldy ink should not be skimmed off. Please dispose if the ink.
