Hanco has a range of bespoke modifiers that can be used across the ink ranges, these modifiers can be used with other traditional ink formulations outside the Hanco ranges.
Hanco’s Etching, Relief, and Lithography Inks are formulated without driers. The only inks they make that do contain driers are their universal Metallics. Hanco's Cobalt Free Drier is a non-yellowing and safer alternative to traditional cobalt driers. If you want to speed up the drying time of your inks, Hanco recommend adding between 2% and 4% by weight of their Cobalt Free Drier.
Caution - a little goes a long way and if you add too much you can inhibit the ink drying.
