Intaglio Etching Ink - Black 55985 is a very dense black intaglio ink used to enhance other blacks. It is made from a mixture of ivory & carbon black and prussian blue.
This very deep, slightly blue black etching ink is used to strengthen other blacks.
The ink is highly viscous and on its own, can be challenging to wipe.
Charbonnel Etching Ink is 100% natural and non toxic. Every colour is highly pigmented, delivering impressive covering power even after dilution.
Like oil paints, Charbonnel inks absorb oxygen to dry. Depending on the colour, the drying time is between 2 and 3 weeks.
Our inks have been trusted by artists throughout time, from Renoir, Degas, Lautrec and Picasso to present day masters Rauschenberg, Hockney, Diebenkorn and Thiebaud.
