ETCHING INKS, the
first items we made and
sold, were formulated
by Dan Smith specifically
for fine artists. They are
now used by printmakers
worldwide and are the
exclusive choice of many
college and university art
programs. Made with top
quality artist's pigments
mixed with traditional
linseed burnt plate oil, they
contain no driers and are
available in a broad color
palette.
LITHOGRAPHIC INKS
are the finest available. We
modified the grind and
viscosity of each color to
obtain optimal print-
ability--you'll especially
like their tackiness and
substantial body. Warm and
cool hues of yellow, red,
blue, green and violet pro-
vide complete versatility
without redundant colors.
Our inks are extremely
lightfast and pigment infor-
mation is specified on the
labels. Burnt plate oil and
magnesium carbonate are
the only other compo-
nents; no driers are used.
OIL-BASED RELIEF
INKS are professional
quality, great for wood-
block, linoleum and intaglio
relief printing. Smooth and
creamy, they yield crisp
prints with a press or by
hand. Each rich, saturated
color is made with pure
lithographic varnish and the
finest pigments, with little
or no drier.
WATER-SOLUBLE
INKS are the first
truly professional quality
water-soluble inks. With
soap-and-water cleanup
and no toxic solvents, it's
an excellent choice for
relief, monotype, intaglio,
drypoint, ImagOn and So-
larplate printing. The strong
pigment load allows you to
apply a thinner layer of ink
than is customary for wa-
ter-soluble inks, eliminating
over-inked, blurry prints.
Deep, rich colors dry to
a beauiful satin finish and,
once set, are not reacti-
vated by water.
