I talk, but I do not speak my mind
I hear words, but I do not listen to thoughts
When I wake, all see me
When I sleep, all hear me
Many heads are on my shoulders
Many hands are at my feet
The strongest steel cannot break my visage
But the softest whisper can destroy me
The quietest whimper can be heard.

this post does a better job of explaining ink in only two paragraphs

Ink is made up of 3 parts: pigment, vehicle, and additives.
The vehicle is composed of resin dissolved in a solvent. The pigment is mixed, or “ground”, into the vehicle. The vehicle then surrounds the pigment particles and protects them and binds them to the sheet you are printing on. Since the pigment starts out being dry like a very fine powder, the vehicle also allows the ink to flow enough so that it can be rolled into a thin film and transfer from the press to the sheet during the printing process.

The additives are substances which give the ink other desired properties. Examples are dryer, which promotes the drying of the ink, and wax (not the type you think of as candle wax) which gives the dried ink film better rub resistance.

I still want to know how they made the pigment though.

The pigments are made up of salts of multiring nitrogen-containing compounds (dyes), such as yellow lake, peacock blue, phthalocyanine green, and diarylide orange. Inorganic pigments also are used in printing inks to a lesser extent. Some examples are chrome green (Cr2O3), Prussian blue (Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3), cadmium yellow (CdS), and molybdate orange (a mix of lead chromate, molybdate, and sulfate).

I can sleep well tonight.

that vegas gold color looks faded... bland. It's just... it's just putrid

Is there any rhyme or reason why some go by Nic and others Nick?

aren't they all rooted in Nicolas?
