The ink is lightfast and will not discolor when exposed to light.
The ink’s composition lends it an intense black color with a subtle shine. Speedball’s India ink contains 100 carbon black pigment and shellac. It dries quickly with a matte sheen, and can be cleaned or erased from film with Koh-I-Lar® Liquid Eraser. Speedball Super Black India Ink is an affordable and high-performing black ink that is great for beginners. It is an opaque black waterproof ink with a short open time. Should have gotten an extra bottle I guess. Acetate Ink is designed especially for use on acetate and film. I tried to stretch the coating too thin, as I used more than expected and was running out of it. They aren't super noticeable, and would probably be fine left as is, but knowing it's there and not perfect bothers me. Do you think it would be salvageable to sand down the single layer of shellac and apply an ebony oil based stain over it to hopefully darken the slightly lighter spots? Or do you think ink over a thin seal coat of shellac would absorb into the wood enough to fix the uneven spots? It's not really noticeable in indoor, artificial light, but only in direct sun that you can see these spots. It wasn't until after I got the shellac on that I noticed a few areas in direct sunlight that showed through to the wood, where I apparently didn't apply the ink thick enough. I went ahead and did a layer of shellac over it before proceeding to my usual wiping varnish finishing. Speedball Super Black Waterproof India Ink is free-flowing, non-clogging, waterproof, permanent, fadeless, and contains 100 carbon black pigment.

It seemed to work very well, coming out relatively even and free of blotches. I had seen the technique of using India Ink to ebonize wood and thought I'd give it a try on a top for an island made of birch plywood.
