According to historical records, the development of printing mud has a history of two thousand years. Printing mud was used as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin and Han Dynasties. At that time, printing mud was made of clay and was soaked in water when used, which was called sealing mud at that time.
After the Sui and Tang dynasties, with the progress of society, some people developed paper, and then changed to using water to mix cinnabar on the printing surface and bell on the paper, which was the embryonic form of printing paste. In the Yuan Dynasty, people began to use oil to mix cinnabar, and gradually developed into our modern calligraphy and painting printing paste.
Calligraphy and painting ink pad is mainly used for the creation of traditional calligraphy, painting, and seal cutting. It is made by selecting materials according to traditional methods and achieving special effects. It is called calligraphy and painting ink pad to distinguish seal oil and oilcloth table in the office field.

The Characteristics of Calligraphy and Painting Ink
1、 No oil leakage
No oil leakage. After transferring the seal onto the surface of similar fabrics such as paper or silk, there will be no obvious oil leakage at the edge of the imprint. (This is very important, as it undermines the effectiveness of the work.)
2、 Good shielding
Good shielding. Simply put, it means being stamped on ink, and the printed part can cover the ink color and be opaque. At the same time, it has a thick three-dimensional feeling.
3、 Printing restoration ability
Good print reproduction ability. If the restoration ability is not good, the Zhu text will become thicker, the white text will become thinner, and the edges of the printed text will be sticky, blurry, and unclear. (This is very important for seal cutting creation)
4、 Color is not floating or stagnant
The color is not floating or stagnant, and has long-lasting retention. Therefore, high-quality calligraphy, painting, and printing clay should be made of pure cinnabar. (Is there a perfect way for women to choose lipstick?)
5、 Stable physical performance
Stable physical performance. Under normal use and storage conditions, it will not dry out, dilute, or even deteriorate quickly. At the same time, when the temperature difference in the environment is large, the shape change should be small.
Use and maintenance of printing paste
01. Be cautious in storage: It is best to use magnets and avoid using copper, tin, aluminum, etc.
02. Nourishing Color: It is advisable to gather the printing mud in the storage tank like a mound, and then use printing oil to nourish it around, which is both bright and durable in color.
03. Frequent turnover: Fine sand is prone to settling; Oily and easy to float, frequently flipped to make it colored. 04. Avoid shaking: When printing, press it correctly, with white text being heavy and Zhu text being light. If you shake it, the white text will be fine and the Zhu text will be thick.
05. Clean Wipe: The seal should be used and wiped immediately, and dust and debris should not be picked up.
06. Do not use thick pads: It is advisable to use about thirty layers of paper.
07. Seasonal drying: When drying in spring and winter, and when drying in summer and autumn, it is necessary to cover the surface with thin gauze to prevent dust from falling off.
08. Mildew and dampness: The qi of moldy weather can collect things, so it is advisable to expose them to sunlight frequently and not place them in damp places.
Seal
Method 1: Place the seal decisively on paper (or silk or cloth), use your hand to forcefully press down on the top of the seal to evenly distribute the force on the surface, and then quickly and gently remove the seal. White printing should be thick padded, while red printing should be thin padded. It is best to use a printing gauge to facilitate overlapping printing when there is exposure.
Method 2: After adding ink, place the seal face up, cover it with paper, and evenly press it with nails, ink box covers, etc. on the back of the paper, then remove the stamp. After each use, the remaining ink on the seal must be wiped off with soft paper to prevent sticking and scaling.
Method 3: Dip the ink pad or finger thin on the printing surface, evenly apply it, and then drop it onto the paper. Regardless of the method, after each use, the remaining ink on the seal must be wiped off with soft paper to prevent sticking and scaling.
Ink is the clothing of seals, and if the clothing is not neat, the body will be shabby. If the printing paste is poor, the seal cannot be colored. It doesn't need to be much, and it needs to be wonderful. Choose a good printing paste to add charming colors to your calligraphy and painting works.
