Cranfield Traditional Letterpress Ink Carbon Black

This is a range of interesting subtly toned blacks designed to give nuanced printed results. Their simple, traditional formulation of pigments, finely ground in linseed oil, is designed with optimum viscosity to avoid ‘ink squash’, yet achieve good paper penetration resulting in a smooth and rich print.

Letterpress printers no longer have to doctor inks intended for other uses, such as lithography or etching. These inks are specifically dedicated and tailor-made for wood engraving and all types of letterpress printing.
