Preserving Printers' Inks.—In the case of inks kept in tin cans and used only occasionally, the Bulletin de l'Imprimerie advises that every time ink is taken from the can the surface be made perfectly smooth again, and the particles adhering to the tin be carefully removed, so as to diminish those parts liable to dry up. The ink is then covered with a sheet of parchment previously soaked in oil and well dried on both sides, care being taken that the ink is completely covered by the parchment. The can is then to be hermetically closed, wrapped in paper, and the ink can thus be preserved in good condition for a very long time.
