Cranfield Caligo Wiping Compound / Tack Reducer 150ml

These additives from Cranfield Colours of South Wales let you fine-tune how your printing inks handle. They are made to work with Caligo Safe Wash inks and, in the case of the wax drier, with Cranfield's traditional oil-based inks.

Caligo Safe Wash Oil thins and loosens Caligo inks, reducing stiffness for smoother rolling or easier wiping, while keeping soap-and-water clean-up. Caligo Wiping Compound / Tack Reducer softens the ink and lowers its tack, helping etching inks wipe cleanly from the plate and relief inks lay down without picking the paper. Cranfield Printmakers' Wax Drier is added in small amounts to speed the drying of oil-based prints.

Add modifiers gradually and test on a proof, as a little goes a long way. All are made in the UK.
