Cranfield Traditional Letterpress Ink is a range of interesting, subtly toned black inks, tailor-made for wood engraving and all letterpress printing. The rich blacks, which are tinted with pigments from green through to graphite, are designed to give nuanced printed results and include a black black - Carbon Black. Their simple, traditional formulation of pigments, finely ground in linseed oil, is designed with optimum viscosity to avoid "ink squash", yet achieve good paper penetration resulting in a smooth and wonderfully rich print. They work very well when printed by hand as well as by machine.

Cranfield Traditional Relief Ink is formulated from a careful mix of traditional linseed oils and vibrant lightfast pigments. As well as being highly pigmented, the formulation provides a viscosity and structure to the ink, along with the unique linseed smell. This keeps the relief print as fresh and bright as the day it was created. All the inks are rated 6 or higher on the International Blue Wool Scale. The range benefits from lovely metalic silver and gold as well as a transparent base. They can be used on all types of relief plate and can be cleaned up with vegetable oil before a final wipe with a low odour or plant based solvent.

Economical zinc plate for etching, unpolished, and unbacked. The plate is 0.8mm thick which makes it good for use with small tabletop presses. The zinc has a fine milled finish, ready to polish and degrease for use with traditional resists and grounds.

Great for use with B.I.G. etching grounds or with acrylic grounds. These etching plates are also suitable for non-etched intaglio techniques such as drypoint and engraving.

The back of the plate will require the application of an acid-resistant stop out.

Copperplate oils are the base carrier or vehicle for traditional printing inks to which pigment is added before grinding to the appropriate consistancy for the various printmaking techniques. Also known as boiled or burnt linseed oil, referring to their traditional method of modification, they are today created in a heated high pressure vessel. The process adds viscosisty and tack to the linseed oil in increasing degrees ranging from weak to strong as heating time is increased. As a rough guide the weaker (thin) to medium oil being the base for intaglio inks and the medium to strong (thick) oil the base for relief and lithographic inks. You can soften and loosen an ink by adding weak thinner oil and increase tack and viscosity by adding stronger thicker oil. Plate oils should be added to inks sparingly, as the detail of a print may be lost if the ink becomes too fluid. Gamblin Burnt Plate Oil Number 2 is a medium oil and is the primary oil binder for Gamblin Etching Inks.

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: Bone Black - PBk9 Temperature: Warm Wiping: Easy Plate Tone: Light Recommended Use: Recommended for etching, drypoint, aquatint. Highly recommended for mezzotint and engraving.pdf=Gamblin_black_ink.pdf Gamblin Etching Inks.
