Akua Intaglio Water-based Ink is made with the highest quality binders and lightfast pigments and is labeled non-toxic and conforms to ASTMD 4236. Formulated for intaglio or etching, it also works well for monotype. When used on intaglio plates, it wipes off cleanly from the plate, while plenty of ink remains in the grooves. The result: good, sharp contrast prints. Use the ink straight from the jar for all types of intaglio plates and monotypes. With the addition of water-mixable Akua Oil Converter, you can stiffen Akua Intaglio and increase plate tone. Slow drying, the ink will never skin or harden in the jar or when left on the ink slab. Ink is permanent once dry.
