Long-Lasting Inks That Stay Open Until You're Done

Akua Intaglio Inks give printmakers rich color, long working time, and easy cleanup. These professional inks are made with a soy and water base, offering a smooth, buttery texture and no added dryers. They stay workable on the plate, brayer, or in the jar for as long as needed, so there is no rushing or wasted ink.

Developed by a printmaker, Akua Intaglio Inks are filled with lightfast pigments and work on plastic, wood, linoleum, and metal plates. They are ideal for intaglio, monotype, relief, and collagraph printing and can be used on either damp or dry paper. Once dry, prints are permanent, and they can even be re-soaked without affecting the image.

Cleanup is quick with just soap and water. No solvents are required.
