Blue-black ink, also known as iron tannic acid ink, is mainly composed of tannic acid (C4H 10O9) and gallic acid (C7H6O5? H2O) and ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) combine with each other to form ferrous tannic acid and ferrous gallate, which are insoluble high-valent iron after oxidation, namely ferric tannic acid and ferric gallate. The former enhances water resistance, while the latter enhances blackening, thus making the ink water-resistant, blackening and lasting in color.
