How Ink Is Made

[IsaacDeanMusic]

it looks delicious

[frostyh81]

it's actually quite beautiful.

[printingcompanies]

Powder, Varnish & Passion! Brilliant! As someone who works in the trade, I've gotta say I love the way this has been put! :)

[malvikatewari91]

Thank you for posting this. Very insightful and informative.

[qtele]

not a splat of ink on anyone.wow

[solutor102]

am i the only one that wants to eat all the ink at the beginning because it looks like nacho cheese?

[hezman969]

I just watched 9 minutes of ink making. Why?

[donleo243]

Best video on youtube!

[TheHarveyJ6]

Fantastic video, I'm glad I watched it, highly interesting and informative. Isn't it ironic how beautiful and vibrant the inks are compared to the dull industrial work place they are produced in. Go on' spill some on that floor

[DeathStar012]

BG music for me is to load.. Can't hear what he's saying :(

[stewlegg]

did he say making ink is really personal?

[tequilerotv21]

@ 2:53 i realized he's canadian lol good video

[tequilerotv21]

i mean 2:51 lol

[tardiskeeper6]

Don't think I'd have the patience to do that all day every day. I imagine it gets very monotonous.

[inkedkoi]

As a person who has a printing certificate and has spent many a hour cleaning a press, this is really cool to watch. fyi, Blue ink is the hardest to clean off a press. lol

[dittocopys]

Lol, hes like Hank Hill, but ink instead of propane.

[rybekdesign]

Fuck that was mesmerizing.

[Fred6191]

what is the solvent that they use?

[shaurz]

I never though ink manufacturing would have any sort of "craft" to it...

[imreallyjin]

WHOAAAAAA.

[SillyLitleGirl]

I just want to dunk my hands in those huge vats of ink and and squoosh it all around!

[SilentEcho8]

@SillyLitleGirl lol I wonder how long they'd be stained for

[keerrah]

brilliant!

[Snyltebiter]

whats the song?

[Shareallicu3]

Messy job. the music made me fall asleep for most of this video....

[urbabysoncrak]

Watching this made me hungry. o_0

[linkuei83]

@urbabysoncrak you too thought ink was more like cream with different flavors?!

[jxp24]

this makes me want to sleep!

[fonjadidi]

I want to feel it SO BAD!

[guardiangenti]

What a delightful job to have!

[josemania81]

i thought ink came from fish eyes

[monomister11]

@TheBr4nch then enlighten me

[Jordgubben1337]

Leslie knows his shit

[ThePeoplesGuru]

I just kept thinking about those barrels of ink. When they are being poured down the last mill. There should be so much stuck ink stuck to the walls of the barrel. Actualy there should be ink stuck everywhere.

[oliviacamden]

this is an excellent film! :)



[emailaddress3407]

this is almost as cool as the time mr. rodgers made crayons.

[lilpauler23]

Great video now I can show this video as a idea of what I do for a living when I say I work making ink...... Really looking forward for more videos or if anyone would send me tips or different problem solving ideas working with water base inks thanks:)

[monomister11]

@hitokage4 Ink will have dyes in it, that is coloring molecules that are dissolved in a liquid; while paints will have pigments, that is coloring molecules that are in suspension in a liquid but not dissolved

[TheBr4nch]

@monomister11 that's nonsense - inks mostly have pigments. pigment vs dye is not the difference between the two.

[0erethren0]

every time i watch this, i cheer up. i dont know what it is, but this video is amazing

[hitokage4]

This may be a dumb question, PrintingInkCompany, but what is the major difference between paint and ink? Both are pigment in a medium... is it the medium?

[greenymaco]

6:38 WTF?!

[EdofEngland]

They must have one hell of a cleaning bill.

[canturgan]

How in God's name has nobody spilled any? That would be a riot (of colour).

[KoolJust4U]

look too clean to be a ink factory

[GoodLookingAlphaMale]

this is lame

[monomister11]

i also work at an ink factory. and i promise. that dude talkin about how much he loves his job. is full of shit. and notice how everyones nice and clean. complete load of shit

[spencermcfarland68]

I work at an ink manufacture company. I wash the tubs after there used. And when you get that ink on you. There is nothing pretty about it. It burns right into your skin and feels like your burning from the inside out. It looks cool to see. But making it and being around it every day sucks. Andd i also cant smell anything anymore because the fumes from the chemicals destroyed it.

[pingeyada]

Wonderful presentation.

[befreud]

at 3:16 I was thinking mmmmmmhhhmmm lifetime supply of honey.

[pushpak8880]

what's with that music are we watching a how to make video or a sad love opera?

[CigaretteSmokingGuy]

Johannes Gutenberg would be rolling over in his GRAVE!

[markxdye]

mac n cheese powder

[2Chickaboom2]

Great stuff. I used printing ink every day for 15 years but never gave much thought to what went into making it. We definitely hated using the cheap inks when the boss was being a tightwad. But loved using the high quality ink.

Thanks for posting!

[Gat0PK]

ooo god the texture....orgasmic

[lookabadger1]

Dude scratching his balls at 7:35.

[apollo33]

wow, so ink is made by purchasing colored powder from one company and a viscous clear liquid from another company and mixing them together? that explains everything!

[RVO174]

Curious as to how the interview was lit? What was the lighting setup? Thanks. Great vid.

[TheRoyalFuzzybug]

All my plights pale in comparison to this man and his ink. This is what love is.

[NOVECH]

i used to make printing ink in Bristol UK, Love this video, happy days

[unlokia]

Woah, SO beautiful!!

[iToasterman]

Black != color...

[TheRoyalFuzzybug]

I'm watching this semi-drunk and just...Jesus Christ

[bearinwolfsfur]

mmmm i think i'll have that

[EBCSMW]

Sticky icky

[EBCSMW]

I watched the whole thing? I want to see more of these.

[doctorich]

There's right work for everyone; everyone just needs to find it. This guy sure as hell found his.

[1000thRupee]

God, i have the weirdest boner right now...

[devilmaycryhard]

I'm hungry now

[ink2go]

[876bmore]

[SuperKoolPlace]

[10335086]

I just want to drag my hands through it!

[Mycologist]

Isn't it beautiful?

[no1stunada]

I miss my screenprinting job now... Thanks a lot...

[CumCherryPie]

so ink is not from squids?

[cardwell]

Funny - my son and I  were in the car wondering how ink was made (for some reason) and when we got home I got the weekly email from the Word Magazine and they had a link to this video! Nice!

[marmadukesymesparker]

fake

[citruskeys]

Being a colour mixer sounds like fun.

[ThatsGlue]

Good Lord that is some beautiful stuff.

[TomCook24]

It's Beethoven's Piano Concerto 5 in E Flat Major before anyone asks.

[animeaddict1218]

@TomCook24 Damn, you just beat me to it.

[Swyneify]

Reddit anyone?

[OmegaDude22]

To think there's actually a machine called an Inkometer.

Awesome vid!

[Vouk73]

Beautifully done! 

[MasterHypnose]

6:55 he's so good that it nearly sounds like music.

[ZakiTemple]

I'm so glad I'm high right now

[KillerOfCereal1]

Repulsion gel!

[TheCheese9]

dunno why, but it reminds me of Portal 2.

[utuebmakeustupid]

@TheCheese9 It's the gels in Portal two.

[clatchley1]

Why is ink making so Beautiful?

[pwnsenburg]

Wow, ink looks delicious haha.

[FV312]

[ben3600]

How is everything so clean at an INK-making company....

[Progdor1]

Shocker is tossed up at 4:30...he's now my hero

[TheLiviaTriple]

it's always awe-inspiring to see someone so passionate about what they do :)

[ambitiouspants]

Deeply satisfying process to watch. So orderly and careful, with the perfect blend of physical and technological.

[broo234]

[enstillfear]

perfect, now I can fall asleep.

[sillymonkey829]

7:15 a boot

lol I love Canadian accents.

[DETdream]

@sillymonkey829 I've heard it a few times. It's really not how we say "about", but I guess if you hear someone say it, he's Canadian.

[sg137iu]

Reminds me of Mister Rogers at the Crayola factory

[goldenlover606]

Nachos.

[batmannu]

beautiful video though :3

[seonidh]

nightmare to clean the equipment

[GamiCross]

CAVE JOHNSON HERE... we've figured out how to make a resource that runs out every 2.3 days and costs more than a human life!

[CaptainA2001]

Look at them rollers! That bitch is... tacky ;)

[sircantaloupe]

great shots, great editing, great video

[DurakSuka360]

Portal 3. New Yellow goo that makes ink

[FrequencyTurtle]

That looks like so much fun.

[sharperhenz90]

Anyone know the name of the song at the beginning?

[cassini20]

[GabrielTrudeau]

@cassini20 25 canadian dollar

[apopheniacMCMLXXXIX]

[funstick3000]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm cheeeeese

[Wishfuleyesmedia]

"others are thin, thin, thin, like the thinnest... water"

i don't think he knows what water is...

[FiveofHearts1]

My old art teacher believed that anything involved with money couldn't be art. I still believe she's quite wrong.

[ummacles]

At 1:27, he says "fustrating", forcing me to close the video.

[kendo512]

I suddenly have the urge to become an ink maker!

[BurnBeforeEating]

Why the fuck am I crying?

[TheCDIgroup]

@BurnBeforeEating because its so beautifal man! haha

[Aniland]

What is this music?

[thomaskantor]

@Aniland Slow movement of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5. It's a classic.

[NullPoint84]

I think there are people who just browse around and click "dislike" on every video they see, just as a troll attempt.

[jaquefroid]

that music would make anything pull tears :P

[FascistLetterOpener]

And now we add the pigment, as is tradition.

[sansell1242]

I just got a hard on. This is beautiful.

[ijustwanttosignup]

Excellent video

[KyUHLz]

I would eat that ink.

[sportlover13]

@KyUHLz Velveeta mac and cheese?

[rpx1979]

'the colours we've talked aboooot"

[wexpayne]

This video is DELICIOUS.

[HerrFru]

8:05 - This is why the ink is so fucking expensive.

[buckamoona]

7:34 guy on the left is scratching his balls

[arviagent13]

@buckamoona: 7:36

[eternaljelly]

So... much... fruit roll-up.. I MUST HAVE

[Hoogabooga1441]

Music seems a little over dramatic for ink

[thatsbentastic]

That guy loves his ink-making.

[zzgamamagzz]

King's Speech.

[hinduguru292]

I WANT TO SLEEP ON THIS

[HelloImMrBob]

Music=Perfect

[Edit0r]

@HelloImMrBob It's the 2nd movement of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5.

[HelloImMrBob]

@Edit0r Thank you

[Sotar]

turns out there is a underground lab, where bryon craston is making blue sky for the masses. 

[vakeraj]

Beautiful!

[Darkininc]

If ink is that easy to make why is it so fucking expensive?

[Mannex17]

I wonder if any of that's cancerous

[harvythewondergerbil]

Is it supposed to look delicious?

[ForTehNguyen]

I came here from the Ludwig Von Mises Institute

[sourxxjane]

IT'S MAGICAL.

[samn100]

BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW

[Philosophickle]

Inkman, will you be my dad?

[proct0r]

That must be more secure than the US Mint seeing how expensive ink is.

[Jamieeelovesyouu]

I feel like a better person after watching this.

[Nightst0ne]

Is this why it costs 8,000 per gallon?



[inFAMOUSCowZ]

title is misleading this vid is about cheese. 

[BloyruXD]

LOOK AT ALL THAT NACHO CHEESE

[weirdasian741]

mmm custard

[fader3s]

turns out, moonrocks are pure poison

[Jpiggye]

Tumeric powder?

[H3rr3ra05]

imagine if one of those spills i wouldn't want to clean that mess

[PicklesReallySuck]

These guys are acting like they just took some girl's virginity or something.

[TGfeed]

@PicklesReallySuck you're acting like taking a girl's virginity is important or something.

[PicklesReallySuck]

@TGfeed Think 40 year old virgin. They're acting like it's important, but it isn't.

[ZzDe0]

This guy must be boring as hell. "Hey guys lets talk about ink!"

[MrFinnJohnson]

@ZzDe0 imo it would be pretty interesting

[michaelcomeonalready]

how do you dislike a video like this?
