"Harry uncorked his ink bottle, dipped his quill into it, then held it suspended an inch above the smooth yellowish surface of his parchment, thinking hard..."
Harry Potter preparing to write a letter in ink.[src]

Ink is a liquid containing dyes. When it is used, it produces images and texts on various surfaces.

Ink is used in conjecture with quills to write on parchments by wizards and witches in the wizarding world, in place of the pens and pencils in the Muggle world. There are several types of inks, such as Azul Marino ink, invisible ink, glow-in-the-dark ink, acidic ink, and Colour-Change Ink. Harry Potter seemed to prefer a scarlet-coloured ink.[1]

Peeves would sometimes shoot ink pellets at Hogwarts students.
