    Default Faster Drying Ink

    How would one make inks dry faster?
    I have been mixing inks and I love the combination of QUink black and noodlers blue.
    Ive mixed it before and its relatively quick drying bbut i used up my vial of it.

    Ive been trying to mix it again and i keep getting the right colour but its taking 1+ minutes to dry.
    Is there any way to make it dry quicker?

    You might add just a little distilled water and see how that affects a small batch. I know it seems counter-intuitive, but when there are highly saturated inks involved, it reportedly makes them dry faster. In my limited understanding, it comes from the water having more access to the air and thus being able to evaporate more quickly. Perhaps someone will come along who can explain it better.
