Gamblin Relief Ink Phthalo Blue 175ml

Gamblin Relief Inks are formulated for all relief techniques, including woodblock, linocut, monotype, and Solarplate. They contain the right amount of stiffness and tack to hold fine detail yet spread evenly on the block or plate. The palette of ten colors is designed to give artists intense pure pigmented colors straight from the jar, along with a wide range of color mixing capabilities. Gamblin Relief Inks are all bound in the highest quality Burnt Plate Oil.

Warm blue first made for printmaking ink (cyan) to replace Prussian Blue in the 1920s. It is an excellent choice in primary color-mixing systems, along with Hansa Yellow Light and Quinacridone Red. With clean, pure masstone and transparency, Phthalo Blue, like all modern colors, has high tinting strength.

Pigment: Copper phthalocyanine (PB 15:4)
