Stuff needed on fountain pen ink manufacturing process, for project. Any site or source?



I have to give presentation on fountain pen ink manufacturing process at my college. I need as much info on it as available. Some videos, animations or anything related to this process will do. Anybody knowing about it, please help....

The Nib
The fountain pen nib not only carries a unique look to itself but it does something no other writing instrument does, feeds information to the writer during the process of writing.

Humans have used various instruments to convey thoughts and feelings. Man's first writing instrument was his finger, using it to form symbols in the dirt. Later, pieces of metal or bone were used. Ancient Greeks used a stylus to mark on wax-coated writing tablets, while early Egyptians used hollow reeds as writing tools and papyrus as their writing surface.
