Abstract
This study analyzes the physical and chemical properties of ink with high solid content for the woodblock printing of Samguk Yusa. Compared with pine or oil soot inks, the organic ingredients in ink for the woodblock printing of Samguk Yusa had a higher nitrogen concentration and the inorganic elements had a lower ash level. In addition, in the IR analysis, C=C bonds of 1650–1620 cm<SUP>-1</SUP> intensity were confirmed in the ink for the woodblock printing of Samguk Yusa, and the average particle diameter of these inks was confirmed to be about 61 nm. Because of the glue used in the ink’s production, the ink had a higher cohesive force and was less smeared on the Hanji. When dried in UV irradiation, it appears that the color of the printed part on Hanji will become more distinct.
