When ink is exposed to sunlight it can be bleached out by it due to the UV-rays of the light. The energetiv UV-light is able to split up oxygen molecules O-O into so called radicals O2 --UV--> 2 O. this atomar oxygen is very reactive an destroys the ink, more chemically: it oxidises the ink.

It's in a way quite the same when you're washing clothes with bleach to remove tomatoe taints or so - there are formed radicals from the bleach which oxidise the color molecules of the tomatoe and destroy it this way to leave a bright piece of cloth after wash.

What do you dip in to ink?

You typically dip a pen, brush, or quill into ink for writing or drawing. These tools absorb the ink, allowing for smooth application on paper or other surfaces. The depth of the dip can affect the ink flow, so it's important to find the right balance for your desired effect.
