Akua Liquid Pigment
There is no other ink like Akua Liquid Pigment. Non-toxic Akua Liquid Pigment water-based ink uses only the most light fast pigments in a unique formula. Without fillers, suspending agents or polymers, Akua Liquid Pigment allows the brilliance of each color to really come through. Used for all types of monotypes and monoprints, traditional Japanese or western woodblocks, linocuts and collagraphs. Akua Liquid Pigment rolls or brushes onto the plate beautifully. Akua Liquid Pigment is slow drying with a greasy consistency similar to oil-based inks. Akua Liquid Pigment prints on dry paper and cleans up easily with water.

Modifiers
Use
- Roll up capability using brayers and inking rollers.
- By working small amounts of tack thickener into the ink on an ink mixing slab you can create viscosity comparable to oil-based ink.
- You may then layer colors on the monotype plate with the brayer to create deep richness.
- Brayering can be combined with brushwork, needle applicators and monotype marker pens on the same plate.
- Printing on dry paper will save the artist / printer the steps of paper soaking and pressing. We recommend the .030 monotype plate for this application.
Akua Pin Press 20" wide pin press. Designed to print monotypes without a printing press.
