Wharepuke Print Studio is pleased to supply Akua I
nks as used by Henrick Boegh and Keith Howard
Quality, permanent, nontoxic, water based inks for Intaglio and relief.
Akua Intaglio is soy based with lightfast pigments and cleans up with soap and water. It is safe, versatile and performs as well as oil based inks.
Akua Kolor Inks Designed for monotype and can be added to Intaglio Colours to enrich colours
Akua Intaglio has a buttery consistancy. It never hardens or forms a skin in the container when left uncovered making it much more long lasting than traditional inks. An oil converter can be added if a stiffer consistency is desired.
Wiping the plate is much easier and quicker than oil-based inks. It may be printed onto dry paper offering higher contrast prints ideal for printing multi-registered plates or combining prints with digital ink jet or letterpress images. Damp paper may offer greater tonal values and more consistent print results for aquatints.
