Premium Block Printing Watercolours

Relief printing is very popular in schools and it is important to use the right ink.  These specialist Lino & Block Printing Inks are slightly tacky in their nature, so when they are applied to the carved lino block with a roller the ink sticks to the smooth raised surface and doesn't roll into the carved lines.

The result are crisply defined, dens and even prints.  

Helpful Tip: For best results never apply too much ink to the roller and lino surface.  You want to hear a nice gentle sticky noise when applying ink to the roller. Too much ink results in gloopy and uneven application, too little and it will be patchy.  What the video for a quick demo...
