Professional printmaker, Susan Rostow, developed Akua Intaglio Inks to delivery brilliant colors, intense blacks and unmatched working properties. Akua Intaglio Inks only dry through absorption-they will not dry on the printing plate-and clean up easily with soap and water. These inks are ideal for Intaglio/Etching, Monotype, Gel and Collagraph printmaking and can be used with Akua Liquid Pigment and select Akua Modifiers.
