Akua Intaglio Inks deliver brilliant colours, intense blacks, and unmatched working properties. They dry through absorption – they will not dry on printmaking plate. These inks are ideal for Intaglio/Etching, Monotype, Gel and Collagraph printmaking and can be used with Akua Liquid Pigment.

Akua Liquid Pigment is made with the highest quality lightfast pigments and does not contain any chalk or suspending agents. Colours are exceptionally strong, yet transparent and are ideal for multi-layer printing. The rich working consistency is excellent for all monotype techniques and its ability to stay wet on plate for an extended period of time provides artists with many hours to create an image.

Akua Blending Medium – Mix with Akua Intaglio Ink or Akua Liquid Pigment to thin the ink for brushwork, wash effects or use as a resist for viscosity monotype.

Transparent Base is Akua Intaglio Ink without pigment. Mix with Akua Intaglio Ink to increase transparency while still maintaining ink consistency. Tip: Combine Transparent Base and Blending Medium to create a thin, transparent resist.
