Professional-Grade Inks Designed for Printmakers

Gamblin Etching Inks were created with input from professional printmakers who wanted strong, reliable inks for edition printing. Each ink is made with a high pigment load and bound in premium Burnt Plate Oil, producing rich, consistent color that responds well to every detail and texture.

Unlike inexpensive inks filled with extenders, Gamblin Etching Inks provide lasting value through their concentrated color and smooth performance. Every batch is handcrafted in Gamblin’s Portland, Oregon studio to ensure consistent quality and dependable results.
