I use india ink in paintings. I paint on wood. It usually bleeds, so I used some clear sealer from an art store. I like it very very black and slightly raised. Does anyone know how to achieve this without dong many layers?
I am thinking a thickening agent or powder or some alternative ink I do not know about.
Thank you.

perhaps you can try using a different sealing agent.
a lot of times we'll use a spit coat of shellac to seal the wood prior to applying additional layers of finish.

take the cap off the your ink container and let it sit overnight... or for a while. it'll be thicker and the blackest black it can be. if you want it even thicker just let it sit longer without a cap... just make sure you don't accidentally spill it... and don't be puttin' it anywhere too dusty.
