Gamblin Etching Inks were formulated at the request of professional printmakers in the Pacific Northwest who wanted strong reliable inks for edition printing. The palette of pure intense pigments offers a broad range of colour mixing potential. Five black inks and Graphite were formulated to meet the demands of printmakers who want deep rich black inks with good working characteristics. Colour: Complex silicate of sodium & aluminum with sulfur (PB 29) Colour Description: Ultra Blue is one of the few mineral colors that is completely transparent. Lightfast with moderate tinting strength.

Gamblin Relief Inks are formulated for all relief techniques including woodblock, linocut, monotype, and Solarplate. They contain the right amount of stiffness and tack to hold fine detail, yet spread evenly on the block or plate. These soft inks should be rolled in a thin layer over the block or plate, their high pigment load will ensure a transfer of intense colour onto the paper. The palette of ten colours is designed to give artists pure pigmented colours straight from the jar, along with a wide range of colour mixing capabilities.

In addition, Gamblin relief inks are designed to suit the specific requirements needed for monotype printing. Their unique softer body and high pigment load allow them to be rolled out in thinner applications with greater colour intensity, particularly as you print multiple layers of colour.

You can also mix Gamblin relief ink with Gamblin oils to create an even wider range of colour. When mixing oil paint with relief ink, it may be necessary to add plate oil and/or tack reducer as the oil paint and ink have different viscosities. Using plate oils, as opposed to linseed oils, will not adversely affect the paper fibres over time.

Lawrence 1.2mm Copper Plate for etching and engraving is highly polished on one side. The polished surface is protected by a plastic film.

The plate is unbacked and will require the application of an acid-resistant stop-out if etching. As well as etching, copper is also suited to non-etch intaglio techniques such as drypoint, engraving, and mezzotint due to its inherent hardness.

Please allow 2mm tolerance on sizes described.

This traditional easy-cut art-print lino is specially made for carving. Available in a variety of sizes and also pre-mounted onto 18mm fibreboard blocks, giving extra rigidity allowing the user to achieve consistent, flat prints.

E C Lyons mini scraper is made with high carbon tool steel. It has a solid triangular blade with three very sharp edges. Slice off or scrape away the plate surface for image making and corrections. Ideally suited to the most delicate work.

Rockers are used to prepare metal plates for mezzotints. By repeatedly working the tool over the surface of the plate in a rocking motion, the printmaker can create a smooth carpet of burrs, which will hold ink and show up as a dark area when the plate is printed. This rough surface can then be smoothed with a scraper or burnisher, which will lighten the print in those areas.EC Lyons Rocker Weights are used to weigh rockers down. This makes the process of preparing a plate for mezzotint significantly easier, since it is not neccessary to push the rocker down onto the plate.These weights come with screws to attach them to a Lyons rocker.

This tool is made of high carbon tool steel, and is manufactured by EC Lyons.Burnishers are used to flatten a section of a plate in order to remove engraved or etched patterns and lines. This 'erases' the marks on this area. Do not use the end of the tool; use the 'belly' of the tool, just below the tip.

RGM Student Lino Tools have sharpened hardened steel blades that allow a precise lino-cutting experience. The handles are made from shock-resistant cellulose acetate that fit comfortably in the hand, allowing you to maintain dexterity during carving and ensuring your safety while using the tool.

The total length of each lino tool is 12.5cm and the range consists of V and U shape cutters, several chisel tools, and a useful point tool.

Akua Intaglio Ink was originally formulated for intaglio printmaking, however this ink can also be applied with a brayer for relief printmaking, monotype, and collagraphs; and it will print from any plastic, wood, linoleum or metal plate. It is a soy based ink which is made with high quality lightfast pigments. The inks have a thick consistency with minimal water content and contain no toxic driers - this means a longer working time. The ink cleans up easily with a dry rag followed by soap and water. Inexpensive liquid dish detergent can be used. Never use toxic solvents. Prints can be re-soaked immediately after printing if handled carefully. Once the print is dry, Akua Intaglio is permanent. Ink will never skin or harden in the jar or the ink slab, meaning minimal ink is wasted. Wiping the plate with Akua Intaglio is easier than wiping oil-based ink, meaning you need to spend less time cleaning up.
