Note the comment on felt tip pens causing pen drag and slowing
response time.

To make a slow dry ink, I would guess that the ink should be high
viscosity so that it doesn't drip or run. It should also be high
surface tension to slow evaporation. The high surface tension is easy
enough by adding a few drops of a wetting agent such as Kodak Photo
Flo 200:

I don't know how to increase viscosity. Maybe add some more pigment
or solids.
