Australian made printmaking inks in tubes. Excellent for waterless lithography and intaglio plates. We’ve been experimenting with letterpress and relief printing processes and it seems to work well for these.

Lovely bright colours which can be mixed and extended (with the use of ink mediums). Made with tree resin (not oil-based, not rubber-based). No driers. Non-smearing once absorbed by the paper. Clean up with vegetable oil, commercial roller wash, etc. Low-toxic.

Can be used with FAI Smooth Lith (similar to Easy Wipe, makes intaglio wiping back easier), FAI Add Tack (a very tacky resin that increases tack, to be added to inks during waterless lithography to "tighten" them) and FAI Tint Base (when transparent colours are required) - see Ink Modifiers for more.

Only available here through Union St Printmakers, the Printmaking Sisters and Theo Tremblay in Australia. (The colour chart has kindly been provided care of the Printmaking Sisters.)
