Quink Ink
"Every home, schoolbag, and office in Ireland had a bottle of Quink close at hand, ready to refill their fountain pens or dip pens. When I opened this bottle today to write some wedding invitations, i found that the whole bottle full had evaporated, and all I was left with was a dark blue bottle. The ink was invented with a magic ingredient which caused the ink to dry quickly which avoided blotching and the need for blotting paper. Mr. Bic brought an end to the use of ink bottles."
