Which sentence is right :
I studied that with a tool you use 'with' like: "cut with knife" etc. so should it be sentence no. 2 . But when I goggled 'in ink', I got many sentences where 'in' is used with ink.Why 'in' is used here.
Craftspeople and artists work in or with (a particular material)** (OED)
It appears that 'in' ink became the normal usage around 1900. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=in+ink%2C+with+ink&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Cin%20ink%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Cwith%20ink%3B%2Cc0
I can find no reference to support this, but for me there is a nuance that 'craft workers' work with a material whereas 'artists' work in a material (in suggesting a greater degree of 'knowing' the material and having creative vision for what it might be used to make).
