Quick Summary

Aniline ink is a quick-drying printing ink, typically made with an alcohol vehicle and a pigment. It was first used in 1869. Aniline printing is a process that uses these inks to print on nonabsorbent surfaces. Inks, in general, are colored fluids or pastes used for writing and printing, composed of pigments or dyes dispersed in a liquid vehicle. Modern inks are complex chemical products tailored for specific printing processes and surfaces.123
