Add magnesium carbonate to your ink. Magnesium carbonate is available in our Supplies section from Boxcar Press. Inks are measured by their tackiness or stickiness and their body or how stiff it is. An ink’s body can be drippy like chocolate syrup topping or thicker like frosting or paste. The ink can also be described as being long or short. Long inks are tackier and when pulled up straight from the can will have a long tail. The white powder of magnesium carbonate will stiffen your ink and reduce tackiness.
