Making typewriter ink

- Pushing two years ago now I needed to type for an art project, but my typewriter ribbon was old and dry! New, appropriately sized typewriter reels and ribbons are hard to come by, so I decided to have a go at making my own. A lot of the tutorials out there show how to re-ink using water-based ink, but traditional typewriter ink is oil based, and I needed it to be oil based for my particular project. A little bit of research later and this is what I came up with. I used lithographic black ink, but you could use any oil based relief or linocut ink.

hello world, this may be too much ink. lol. thanks for your video
It turned out that it did settle down after I let it sit for a bit. :)
How ingenious. Something I’ll be trying. Do you have any sense of how long the ink lasts before it dries out? At that point, would you just recharge the tape or wipe the old ink off?
I shot the footage for this at least a year and a half go now. Pulled the typewriter out the other day for the first time in a while and it’s still going strong,
@@SpinesAndSplines Grand, thank you. I'll definitely be trying this!
Can I ask why you're using machine oil over any other oil?
Thanks for your comment. I used machine like because it’s pretty neutral, stable and it won’t gum up.
