Long-Lasting Inks That Stay Open Until You're Done
Akua Intaglio Inks are a dream come true for printmakers who want more time, brilliant color, and easy cleanup. These professional-quality inks are soy- and water-based, with a thick, buttery consistency and absolutely no added dryers. That means they stay workable on your plate, brayer, or in the jar for as long as you need—no skinning, no rushing.
Formulated by a professional printmaker, Akua Intaglio Inks are loaded with lightfast pigments and can be used on a wide range of surfaces, including plastic, wood, linoleum, and metal plates. They’re perfect for intaglio, monotype, relief, and collagraph printing, and you can print on either damp or dry paper. Once the print dries, it’s permanent—and you can even re-soak your prints immediately after printing without affecting the image.
Cleanup is simple: just use soap and water—no harsh solvents needed.
