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.
