Reply To: How can I avoid ink ´running off the painting´when I mount my painting?

‘running ink’ can happen quite often even if sometimes you use high quality inkstick and paper. There are many reasons to explain this. Most commonly reason is bad Xuan paper. However, bad control of water can also cause this problem. Artists in China use Su Ink to avoid ‘running ink’ problem. Su Ink can avoid this problem is because it is very thick. The special effect that Su Ink can realize is ‘lock ink on paper while only let extra water spread away’.
