🖌️ Gelatin glue, extracted from boiled cowhide, is a crucial adhesive in traditional ink-making. It enhances the binding strength, glossiness, and grinding experience of ink blocks.

Functions and Features of Gelatin Glue:
1.Enhances Binding Strength and Moldability
Firmly binds soot particles, giving the ink blocks excellent plasticity and durability.
2.Improves Glossiness and Smoothness
High-quality glue adds a natural gloss to the ink, ensuring smooth brush strokes and consistent ink flow.
3.Adjusts Absorbency and Solubility
The glue dissolves gradually, enabling even ink grinding and steady flow during writing.
4.Impacts Aroma and Longevity
Adds durability to the ink blocks and contributes to the unique "ink fragrance" through added aromatics.
5.Enhances Grinding Experience
Proper glue proportions result in satisfying grinding sounds and a smooth texture.
6.Creates Various Ink Textures
Hard Ink: Higher glue ratio, ideal for fine-line painting and calligraphy.
Soft Ink: Lower glue ratio, suitable for freestyle painting with rich tonal changes.
7.Prevents Cracking
Prevents ink blocks from cracking, ensuring stability under various climates.
