The Liquid pigment pours, the Intaglio is thicker, and can be thinned to be brushable. Non-toxic, soy-oil-based, soap-and-water washable. It's the only ink I use for relief, etching, collagraph, monotype, etc. Speedball distributes it. <br />Thin plexi is easy to shape, and I also use x-ray film for very thin detailed plates. The Ghost Stories series on my website are all done that way.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13138851256294228310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4623525397710953881.post-4241479041854506542015-03-02T21:45:39.613-05:002015-03-02T21:45:39.613-05:00Oil-based printmaking inks will hold.

The only inks I use, and I print from thin plexi plates (.03 or .04 thickness). Either can be thinned with a blending medium. Both soap-and-water washable.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13138851256294228310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4623525397710953881.post-22973950826287847732015-03-02T14:52:26.575-05:002015-03-02T14:52:26.575-05:00I wonder what monotypes taken from your inkings wo...I wonder what monotypes taken from your inkings would be like -?Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4623525397710953881.post-25031910808472595652015-03-02T12:58:20.015-05:002015-03-02T12:58:20.015-05:00Interesting.

Seems she used very thin acrylic paint instead of ink. Have you tried adding anything to the ink? Matte medium perhaps? Just wondering...Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927317459104273331noreply@blogger.com
