DEVELOPED FOR PROFESSIONAL PRINTMAKERS
Printmaking Inks Created by Professional Printmakers
Akua Intaglio Inks are professional-quality inks created by two printmakers, Susan Rostow and William Jung. Rostow & Jung were motivated to create safe, fume-free inks that deliver brilliant colors, intense blacks and unmatched working properties. Akua Intaglio Inks are made with the highest quality pigments carefully selected by Susan.
Unique Soy-Based Formulation
Ideal for intaglio/etching, monotype, gel, and collagraph printmaking, Akua Intaglio Inks' unique soy-based formulation offer a safer studio environment. Clean-up is easy with soap and water, allowing printmakers to avoid the harmful solvents that are needed for traditional etching/intaglio inks.
Inks Dry Through Absoption
Akua Intaglio Ink will not skin over in the jar or dry on the printmaking plate. It dries through absorption into paper fibers. This delivers a range of meaningful benefits to printmakers. It affords the ultimate in convenience - allowing you to work on printing on your schedule. You can leave and come back to work on projects without the inks drying on plates or tools. Since the inks only dry through absorption, there is no wasted ink as jars left open will not dry out.

Not black, more like a greasy translucent gray. Really disappointed.The print on the left is speedball, the print on the right it Akua “carbon black”.What a bummer

The graphite gives a subtle tone to the print. Nice to use both with intaglio printing and collagraphs

I'm looking forward to the ease of clean up with this printing ink. It came highly recommended by my fellow printing, artist friends. Perfect for dry point, etching & collagraphs printing.

We got this for my son who likes to compete in a printmaking category for school. Last year, he used regular water based ink and kept having problems with it drying too fast to do a good job. This stuff was great! It doesn't dry right away which gave him plenty of time to be careful and even roll out multiple colors on his matrix before making the actual print. The only caution is that it stays 'powdery' after drying so it's a good idea to spray it with a fixative to avoid smudging.

Ordered Yellow Ochre, which compared to the picture is more closer to Brown than the image suggests. Also the cap was slightly used and the silver seal had already been lifted halfway. There's a decent amount of product but still...I'm taking a printmaking course in school so all this is new to me.

My first trial of water based ink. Turned out superb. Quality of ink is superior. I liked the matte result after drying.The ink applies well, cleans nicely. This pack is of small quantity but can easily give you 100+ surface prints of about A4 size.
