Because the moisture in it evaporates, leaving only the pigments that were once dissolved in the water.
I'm not sure, but I would guess that many inks are not water-based but rather use other solvent that are more volatile, such as organic solvents. Nonetheless, in both cases, ink dries because the solvent evaporates, but a more volatile solvent will evaporate faster.
