Cranfield Traditional Letterpress Ink Graphite 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.

Graphite Black – Black with a hint of silver. A soft, metallic-black with a lovely silver sheen. Made with carbon black and a hint of opaque metallic silver pigment to impart a unique ‘lead pencil’ effect to the print. Semi Opaque

This ink is only available in 75ml
