Cranfield : Caligo : Safe Wash : Relief Ink : 75ml : Set of 6 Soft Shades

This innovative range of oil-based inks can be washed away with liquid soap and water, without the need for harmful and often more expensive solvents. Ideal for printmakers interested in a safe and non-toxic alternative. Caligos 'safe wash' inks are suitable for all types of relief printing, for example, linocut, woodcut, wooden graving, photopolymer and letterpress. Safe Wash Inks are oil-based, this means you can still use many of the modifiers used with traditional inks. For example you can use Magnesium Carbonate, Talc, Cobalt, Manganese Driers, or Caligo Wiping Compound.The three process colours can be mixed to create a spectrum of bright colours. You will find you can make a much wider range of greens, purples, blues, reds, and oranges than with standard blue, red and yellow inks. The white, black, and extender can be added to create an even wider range of tints and shades. Colours include: Powder Blue, Sage Green, Soft Pink, Pale Violet, Peach and Mustard Yellow.
