Schmincke AquaLino Mediums
The extensive variations of lino and material printing provide artists and creative people with many design possibilities. These mediums are designed to be used with Schmincke AquaLino Colours. Schmincke LINO mediums add visual effects to lino colours. Depending on the medium used, print colours are made more transparent, glossy or acquire a mother-of-pearl effect. The effect depends on the quantity of medium and the shade of the linoprint colour.
