Akua Intaglio is a soy based printmaking ink with light fast pigments. It cleans up with soap and water, is safe, versatile and performs as well as oil based inks.
Akua Intaglio has a buttery consistency. It never hardens or forms a skin in the container when left uncovered making it much more long lasting than traditional inks. An ink stiffener can be added if a stiffer consistency is required.
Wiping the plate is much easier and quicker than with oil-based inks and can be done with just newsprint or pages from telephone books. Akua ink can be printed onto dry paper, offering higher contrast prints ideal for printing multi-registered plates or combining prints with digital ink jet or letterpress images, or on damp paper which may offer greater tonal values and more consistent print results for aquatints.
Drying times may be a little longer than with traditional inks as Akua dries by being absorbed into the paper rather than by evaporation. The inks should be stirred before use as pigment can settle to the bottom of the jar.
