These water-based, high quality Schmincke Aqua Linoprint Inks contain natural binders such as gum arabic as well as organic/inorganic pigments. They are easy to apply due to optimum open times and result in even, sharp prints with fast drying times (wipe-resistant after approximately 15 minutes).
All colors offer maximum lightfastness (4 and 5 stars) and excellent intensity (especially black). The formulation for the colors in tubes and jars is the same. Due to its fluid consistency, all Aqua Linoprint colors can easily be applied to different surfaces such as paper, felt, and cardboard, as well as being suitable for wood engraving and printing with various materials.
The smooth colors have a pleasant odor and can be overprinted with other colors. They are fully intermixable, ready to use, and can be diluted with water.
