<note>&hand; Ordinarily, <i>black</i> ink is made from nutgalls and a solution of some salt of iron, and consists essentially of a tannate or gallate of iron; sometimes indigo sulphate, or other coloring matter,is added. Other black inks contain potassium chromate, and extract of logwood, salts of vanadium, etc. <i>Blue</i> ink is usually a solution of Prussian blue. <i>Red</i> ink was formerly made from carmine (cochineal), Brazil wood, etc., but potassium eosin is now used. Also red, blue, violet, and yellow inks are largely made from aniline dyes. <i>Indelible</i> ink is usually a weak solution of silver nitrate, but carbon in the form of lampblack or India ink, salts of molybdenum, vanadium, etc., are also used. <i>Sympathetic</i> inks may be made of milk, salts of cobalt, etc. See <cref>Sympathetic ink</cref> (below).</note>
