Wagner Collagraph Wax

Wagner Collagraph Wax is a specially formulated encaustic white paint made for collagraph printing to easily release from the paper. Wagner Encaustic Collagraph Wax is used to build collagraph printing plates in lieu of collage materials. When inked, the texture of encaustic can be etched, scratched, carved, or embossed then inked and printed on an etching press to create monotypes on paper that are rich and full of depth. This product performs best using Akua non-toxic intaglio inks. The natural beeswax in Wagner Collagraph Wax forms the perfect marriage with Akua soy and honey based intaglio inks.

*NOTE* Not for use with oil based inks
