Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between water-based and oil-based printmaking ink?
Water-based printmaking inks, such as those from ESSDEE, dry faster and wash off easily with water. Royal Talens oil-based inks dry more slowly, giving you more time to work on details. Oil-based options are more water-resistant and produce a deeper, richer print on paper or fabric.
Which ink should I choose for linocut if I’m a beginner?
For beginners, we definitely recommend ESSDEE water-based printmaking inks. They’re ready to use, offer excellent coverage, and are easy to clean off rollers and linocut plates. They’re ideal for crafting at home because you don’t need harsh thinners or special cleaning products to use them.
Can ARTMiE printmaking inks also be used to print on fabric?
Yes, our ARTMiE printmaking inks are designed to adhere well to various surfaces, including fabric. For printing on fabric, we recommend applying thin layers of ink with a rubber roller. Once the ink has dried completely, remember to heat-set the motif by ironing it through parchment paper. This helps ensure the color stays fast when washed.
Why does the ink clump when I apply it to a linocut with a roller?
Clumping means you’re using too much ink or the layer on the roller is uneven. First, spread the ink evenly on a glass or plastic surface until the roller makes a soft, rustling sound. Then apply it to the plate. A thin, even layer is essential for a clean print without unwanted marks.
How should I store opened printmaking inks so they don’t dry out?
After each use, thoroughly clean any ink residue from the tube opening or the rim of the container. The cap must seal tightly to keep air out. If you’re using ink in jars, place a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of the ink before closing the lid. Store the inks in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to extend their shelf life.
