Ink and chemistry

Today, I was writing with my pen and the ink went out, making it useless. I had thought about doing some chemistry with ink, and after very little research, I accept it, I came up with interesting things:

So... anyway, although it is a colloidal mixture of many chemical compounds, it would be interesting to make something which would react with it to make a solid, blocking the ink when it starts to get out. Just a thought.

"What does this factory make?"

"Ink"

"Ink? Just ink? Nothing but ink?"

"Ink, sir, is the blood of civilization."
