Inker

Inker/Inkers are part of a team of comic book creators who comes in when a Penciller creates a drawing in pencil and so the inker/inkers job is to do the outlines, interprets, finalization, and finally retraces the drawing by using a pen or a brush. Inking was necessary in the traditional printing process because a presses and printer couldn't reproduce pencilled drawings properly (or better/correctly/accurately). "Inking" of text is usually handled by another specialist known as the Letterer, the application of colors goes to the Colorists of the team.
