I've been using standard water insoluble drawing inks and thick watercolour paper. The inks dissipate quickly so the key is to use very little water and be snake fast. I swirl the water a little with bamboo before dropping in the paper.

Marbling
In the summer i marbled and let the papers dry on the clothes line. I've seen it done the traditional way, with inks added to cooked irish moss and paper treated with alum. I don't have any moss though, even if you can see your future in the ink.
