Charbonnel Transparent Ground is a slow drying retouching ground for printmaking and etching.The transparency of the ground allows for a second application and reworking. It can also allow previous etchings to show through. Applied straight onto a plate using a supple brush, or by pouring it on directly. Made with beeswax, pitch resin and turpentine.

Printing inks can be made by mixing powdered pigments with copperplate oils. Pour a small quantity of oil into a well of dry pigment and grind with a glass muller until smooth. Oil is then added until the mixture has a consistency of double cream. pdf=SDS_Cornelissen_Copperplate_Ink_Oil.pdf Cornelissen Copperplate Ink Oil Safety Data Sheet.

The Aqua Wash range meets all the criteria for artist quality inks. It has a high pigmentation concentration identical to that of standard inks, and can be used in all intaglio printing techniques: such as engraving, dry-point, mezzotint, etching and aquatint, as well as monotype and relief printing techniques such as linocut and wood prints. Aqua Wash inks are genuine oily inks for use in all techniques whether etching or relief printing.
