Description
Gamblin Relief Inks 175 ml
Gamblin Relief Inks are formulated for all relief techniques, including woodblock, linocut, and monotype. They contain the right amount of stiffness and tack to hold fine detail yet spread evenly on the block or plate. The palette of ten colors is designed to give artists intense pure pigmented colors straight from the jar, along with a wide range of color mixing capabilities.
Monotype printmaking, the most painterly of printmaking techniques, is very popular. While most painters and printmakers working in this process learn how to make any kind of ink work, the viscosity of Gamblin Relief Inks makes them ideal for monotype printing processes.
Gamblin Relief Inks are all bound in the highest quality Burnt Plate Oil.
