[Histonet] India Ink for inking surgical margin borders

[Barbara Tibbs]

FYI, laundry bluing works great to ink specimens and it's very cheap.  Most grocery stores sell it.  It may not be as dark as you like but if you need two colors for inking oriented specimens you could use it in addition to the India Ink.

Hi Wanda,

Can you tell me the brand name or take a pic of the india ink you got at the art store?  I bought one from dick blick art supply.  Although it works (AND WAS CHEAP...LOL), we're always looking for a better, darker ink.

Any brand suggestions would be great.  Thank you in advance.  ED
