AkuaINTAG CARBON BLACK 2OZ

Muy pequeño

My first trial of water based ink. Turned out superb. Quality of ink is superior. I liked the matte result after drying.The ink applies well, cleans nicely. This pack is of small quantity but can easily give you 100+ surface prints of about A4 size.

We got this for my son who likes to compete in a printmaking category for school. Last year, he used regular water based ink and kept having problems with it drying too fast to do a good job. This stuff was great! It doesn't dry right away which gave him plenty of time to be careful and even roll out multiple colors on his matrix before making the actual print. The only caution is that it stays 'powdery' after drying so it's a good idea to spray it with a fixative to avoid smudging.

The inks are no doubt good. Akua intaglio inks are so user-friendly. Being water soluble, they wash off rollers and surfaces very easily. But I would definitely not buy again from this seller. Delivery was extremely delayed, which may have been and when the package arrived, the container was squashed and the ink had leaked all over into the inside of the packaging.

I'm looking forward to the ease of clean up with this printing ink. It came highly recommended by my fellow printing, artist friends. Perfect for dry point, etching & collagraphs printing.
