In the 1400s, ink was primarily made from carbon black, which was derived from soot or charcoal, mixed with water and a binding agent such as gum arabic to help it adhere to paper. Other ingredients might include iron gall, made from tannin extracted from oak galls, which produced a dark, durable ink. Additionally, natural dyes and pigments from plants or minerals were sometimes used for colored inks. This combination allowed for a range of inks suitable for writing and printing during that period.
