Hanco Relief Inks include three blacks: a warm black, a cool-toned Jumpin’ Jack Black, and a cool-toned, stiffer-bodied Jumpin’ Jack Stout Black. Pigments are carefully chosen for their fade resistance and rich colour, and are finely ground on hardened steel mill rollers to produce high-performance printing inks. These inks contain no driers and, if required, can be adjusted with Hanco’s range of bespoke ink modifiers.
Lightfastness for all inks labelled ‘archival’ measures between 6.5 and 8 BWS, and for all other inks lightfastness measures between 5 and 6 BWS.
Hanco Printmaking Inks are recognised as a leading global brand with a distinguished pedigree in manufacturing expertise. Taking its specialised knowledge and state-of-the-art equipment, Hanco widened its range to incorporate etching and relief inks that sit alongside a selection of bespoke ink modifiers. In consultation with major research institutions and art schools, Hanco have fine-tuned their inks to give the highest possible performance. Their ink formulations are entirely vegetable-based, providing an alternative for printmakers seeking this type of formulation while still producing high quality prints.
