Evidence
"on account of the inconsistency of the ink, in some places the dots are minute, while in others they are [too] bold"
Remarks
The ink in early typeset editions like the 1828-1829 Hooghly Qur'an faced issues of inconsistency during the printing process. Sayyid ȃAbdullah notes that dots and lines slipped out of place (p. 147). The printing of Arabic diacritical marks was particularly difficult due to these consistency issues (p. 147).
