Ink Behavior
Volatile Ink
Volatile ink is characterized by high fluidity and volatility.
As evaporation progresses, the liquid state continuously changes. Volatile components gradually dissipate, while colorants and pigments preserve visible records of the material behavior.
Observable Subjects
Observable subjects include liquid flow, color changes, boundary formation, deposition, backflow, and interactions between different liquids.
Documentation Scope
The documented subject is the movement of liquid across non-absorbent surfaces.
Formation Conditions
The formation process involves heat sources, surface conditions, liquid distribution, the working environment, and other relevant conditions.
Research Variables
Recorded variables include liquid concentration, liquid composition, the presence of impurities, heat sources, table level, gravity, humidity, room temperature, and day–night variation.
Human Intervention
Human intervention includes color selection, liquid distribution, concentration adjustment, liquid movement, heat variation, localized condition changes, as well as the choice of tools, points of intervention, and timing of intervention.
Formation States
As evaporation progresses, boundaries, lines, deposition, compression, coverage, and layered structural relationships gradually develop.
Formation states are not reproducible.
No localized adjustments are made during documentation.
Process Characteristics
Material behavior continues throughout the entire evaporation process.
Local changes remain part of the overall formation state.
The process is irreversible.
