Product Description
DEVELOPED FOR PROFESSIONAL PRINTMAKERS
Printmaking Inks Created by Professional Printmakers
Akua Intaglio Inks are professional-quality inks created by two printmakers, Susan Rostow and William Jung. Rostow & Jung were motivated to create safe, fume-free inks that deliver brilliant colors, intense blacks and unmatched working properties. Akua Intaglio Inks are made with the highest quality pigments carefully selected by Susan.
Unique Soy-Based Formulation
Ideal for intaglio/etching, monotype, gel, and collagraph printmaking, Akua Intaglio Inks’ unique soy-based formulation offer a safer studio environment. Clean-up is easy with soap and water, allowing printmakers to avoid the harmful solvents that are needed for traditional etching/intaglio inks.
Inks Dry Through Absoption
Akua Intaglio Ink will not skin over in the jar or dry on the printmaking plate. It dries through absorption into paper fibers. This delivers a range of meaningful benefits to printmakers. It affords the ultimate in convenience – allowing you to work on printing on your schedule. You can leave and come back to work on projects without the inks drying on plates or tools. Since the inks only dry through absorption, there is no wasted ink as jars left open will not dry out.
