I've worked in the ink industry for many years, canning, batch weighing, mill operating... it is a satisfying line of work, however it's not as romantic as this video makes it out to be (just an honest FYI). There are physical dangers (every mill operator knows what happens if the mill grabs you), terrible fumes from certain inks, nasty raw materials you have to work with, and physical exhaustion from working with extremely thick ink. But when the whole process is done it does feel good to know you had a hand in making a quality ink for the customer, I hope they appreciate the hard work.

as an artist this has given me a new found respect for my materials.

As a pressman, I appreciate how much these people care - cause we care just as much.

Definitely appreciating the printed designs on my shirts now..

My father is a News paper, magazines, posters, and books technician for a big company and he has this job his whole life. When I was younger he would take me to work with him and I remember feeling like I was in paradise. There were so many amazing scraps of all kinds of papers, stencils, decals paper, specialty paper that I could get as much as I wanted (I'm talking about like hundreds of pounds of various papers, printed out art papers, posters, comics, plain papers......I would go crazy to the point of feeling sick anxious thinking what I would do with it...... and I would worry about the days I wasn't there thinking about all those amazing supplies that crafters would kill for all being picked up with no charge/free to recycling paper companies or the trash recycle).......I went so crazy that I became obsessed, became a paper goods hoarder to the point where my Dad did not allow me bringing scraps home anymore! I would sit in the break room doing all kinds of drawings, ink painting, clipart print on the regular computers......I loved that odd satisfying smell of the inks, they had 4 main colors that would became any color imaginable and also specialty ones to create metallic, pearlescent, iridescent, gold like, silver like colors. I remember the hundred of large cans exactly like the ones shown in this video. I kid you not, there was so much paint left after they used up the ink in these large cans and they all would go to trash. I used to feel an uncontrollable need to take them home. It was not like half full or nothing like that but they would open the cans, pour the inks in this huge slot for each color using some sort of putty painter's like knife but they wouldn't scrape out every little drop of left over ink in the can that if you scraped the remaining discarded left over you could literally fill an acrylic paint size like bottle, and there were dozens of cans used each day so you do the math. The reason I used to feel outraged about it is to imagine the cost of ink cartridge so expensive to buy for home printers refill. I think if the home printers company wanted they could make printers much more longer to refill and the cost much, much cheaper and still make great profit comparing to what a huge can of premium printing ink costs. They charge us so much for refill cartridges and make them last so little so they can continue make huge profits once you buy their printers.

If buying ink for my HP printer has taught me anything, it's that I'm looking at billions of dollars worth of ink.

Did you know they employ two lift operators whose only work detail is to elegantly move about a pianist and a ballerina as she flutters atop a smooth pallet stage? These beautiful forklifts are a fine gloss black and feature award-winning certified expert operators to enhance the overall mood, adding emotional depth to the entire ink-making process.

It's a beautiful process. I never thought about the 'how' something I experience every day is made, but I'm glad I know now.

I truly appreciate your attention to detail. It is an art form in itself. As a visual artist, understanding how certain mediums are made helps me find more expressive ways to use the product. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

I use to work in the Ink department at the company who prints Canada’s and New Zealand’s polymer currency (among many other countries and security products that are government regulated. Prepping the ink for all pressmen was so fun. I loved milling/grinding the inks and creating specialty inks for clients. Then testing and passing as press ready. A lot of pre press production involved. This was my favourite jobb in the world at only 20 years old. This brings back so many memories before covid Slowed everything down last year.

Excellent, well produced video - and I have to say, the cleanest looking mixing floor I've ever seen.

My first job after high school was a will-train, no experience required large-format screen printing gig. Because of my attention to detail and quality, after just 6 weeks I was put in charge of stretching new screens when one got broken (that help wanted ad was risky; some hires were idiots), and ink mixing. I learned to mix Pantone spot colors by weight. I was VERY good at it. And unlike most guys in the business I didn't wear the ink home (I could go straight from work and go on a date in the same clothes). Almost 20 years later and I still smell the solvents and often think about color in terms of spot mixing colors instead of process colors. That complicated things for the first while when I switched over to prepress for a digital printing company years later. Eventually I learned to tweak color balance through CMYK curves (when I was screen printing I just had to match the individual separation density), but that mixing process still comes to mind today. I enjoyed this video. :)

I love watching such videos because it gives me a much wider view of my future and possible jobs I might pursue in the future!!! This so far seems like a really interesting job!!!

This video is very insightful on how ink is made. Makes my writing assignment a whole lot easier. Thank you!

Something about this video is very therapeutic for me... I love the smell and texture of printers ink from the can. Thank you for sharing the process with this video.

Don't ever delete this, this is pure ASMR for me. Great doc!

Beethoven 5th Piano Concerto - 2nd movement

I never thought making ink was this emotional.

Printer, ink maker, color matcher most of my working life. Retired now. This was lovely.

I was an ink maker throughout the 1970s. This is a wonderful explanation of the craft and process of ink making. Note that in this video, people are using various personal protective equipment. Back when I did this, we worked in the dawning days of OSHA, and such personal protective equipment was not in use. Then, it was brutal, back-breaking labor, done on a production schedule and completely without many of the protections that are commonplace today. Today, I live with neurological damage resulting from chemical exposures I got back then. Still, it was a great, union (which is to say, lucrative) job for a young man without other employment opportunities. We did it without the aid of computers, when telling the color meant seeing it "pop" off the page in QC. That's when you knew you'd made a good batch!

@iankearns774

Definitely brutal back in the day. I started my Printing apprenticeship in 1982, and vividly remember having to mix up reflex blue in the middle of winter on a slab prior to putting it in the ink duct, we had to add a fair amount of reducer as the ink was so stiff in the can. We had this job that had 80% reflex blue coverage and it was a really long run, my wrists were stuffed by the end of the day. Stiffest inks were that and opaque white, always had your work cut out for you mixing them.
