The origins of ink can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where people used a variety of different natural materials to make ink. The earliest inks were probably made from a mixture of animal glue and plant juices.

In ancient China, ink was also a favorite tool for calligraphy and painting among literati.

By the Middle Ages, people began to use an ink called "blackwater" to write. This ink is mainly made from Fucus algae and lime and is a black ink. During the Renaissance, people began to use a substance called "graphite" to make ink, which was easier to grind than plant sap and could maintain the clarity of writing for a long time.
