INTAGLIO INKS
Etching inks consist of finely ground pigment dispersed in a burnt linseed oil based vehicle. Intensity of colour depends not only on the ratio of pigment to base, but also the nature of the pigment - for instance, ochres are earth-derived, heavy and opaque; quinacridones are organic pigments, lighter in mass weight and semitransparent. Etching inks can also be rolled out for viscosity printing. The question we are most often asked is, ‘How do you stop inks from forming a skin in the can’? Preventing air contact is a start - press plastic film to the surface and rub over some plate oil, or use anti-skinning spray.

Akua Waterbased Intaglio Inks
Easy to use water soluble etching inks, in a range of beautiful dense colours. Very buttery and easy to wipe. Can be left uncovered in the jar without hardening or forming a skin. Prints well on dry or dampened papers. Although water-based the inks are not water-soluble, and cannot be reactivated by water even while the prints are wet. As they contain no dryers the ink drying time will be similiar to oil based inks. When cleaning up use a dry rag on all surfaces. Clean any remaining residue with warm soapy water and a rag. Solar plates are cleaned with vegetable oil.
