Cranfield Traditional Etching Ink 75ml Tube – Gold

Cranfield Traditional Etching Ink is the classic oil-based intaglio ink from Cranfield Colours in South Wales, long relied upon by print studios, colleges and professional printmakers. It is formulated to fill etched, engraved and drypoint lines, wipe cleanly from the plate surface and print with depth and density on damp paper through an etching press.

The range spans a wide choice of blacks, including Soft, Mid, Aquatint, Bone and Lamp Black, each with its own handling and tone, plus earths, process colours, metallics, extender and a large palette of strong colours for à la poupée and multi-plate work.

Boxed 75ml and 150ml tubes keep ink clean and free of skin, making them ideal for colour work, small editions and for trying new colours before committing to a tin. Clean up with vegetable oil and a suitable cleaner.
