Just my personal experience experimenting with inks; if you live in a very humid area (tropical or subtropical in my case) Caligo safe wash can take literal months to dry. Even when placed in a dry closet with de-humidifiers! It’s a lovely ink but wasn’t a good fit for my location. The speedball ink actually worked better for me and resulted in only a couple days to dry. Just my experiences (and lots of money spent on projects that never dried!) that hopefully helps others
thank you for sharing
Very interesting video again, Holly. I had a tour of the Cranfield factory a couple of years ago with a group from Cardiff Print Workshop. It was fascinating, MD Michael gave us a talk about all the manufacturing processes, followed by a guided tour of the factory. When I started printmaking about 6 years ago I invested in cheap water-based inks, mainly Jackson's, so I'm reluctant to spend a lot of money on more expensive oil based. Many thanks for all your videos... very succinct and easy to watch!
Oil or Water based inks?? Neither! lol. if you want true archival quality ink the only option to go with is Rubber based inks. they are absolutely amazing!! and they are just so much better than any other inks out there.
Once the print dries, can you colorize your print with watercolor when using the Cranfield Caligo or will the water dissolve the ink on the print?
Hi. I have a question: can Cranfield be used on textile like cotton? It is water resistant? Thank you!
Hello Holly.. Can I thin the oil-based Ink with .. say Alcohol, Paint Thinner? or with whatever you suggest?
I'm sorry, i know this is an older video but i'm in the process of setting up a printmaking portfolio at home in preparation of graduating and losing access to my school's large studio space soon. I really want to use water based inks for the cleanup and drytime, but i'm intending to sell prints. Are both water based inks and oil based inks considered to be archival grade? If i'm selling prints do i need to disclose that they're made with water-based inks? This is a very informal video!
Really clear and helpful.
What if the water based inks won’t dry?
very good video, straight forward, no music, good information very well packaged and conveyed.
Excellent video Holly !! Thanks for taking the time for your presentation and your info !! I live in Connecticut, USA and we are having a dryer winter as usual so should not take too long to dry !! 🙂🙃😎
Found this on a search as a beginner! Subscribed :)
I just started with oil based ink and wood block printing and wow one color takes over a week to dry lol but luckily I do other things in the art gallery so not waiting around for ink to dry.
Hello Holly - do you have any block printing inks that work well with both paper & Fabric-water based ideally ?
Dear Holly, thanks for the video. I find water based inks more difficult to spread with the brayer. I find it more slippery. It's my problem it's normal? I can I modify the ink "thakiness". Thanks!
What is the experience of oil based inks on different types of Lino and Lino alternatives
Hello, Holly! Thanks for the video and for the clear explanation. Can you tell me if there's an extender for water based inks? Kind regards
Can the oil based be thinned with mineral spirits and heat cured on vinyl?
Thank you so much for this Video! I began with water based (without knowing there are any differences). And i am most time happy with it BUT with golden, copper and silver with Schmincke it is not quite nice to work with, the printing quality just looks messy. So i was thinking to take my money and buy from UK or NL (where i only can buy cranfield golden, copper & silver). Did you know maybe the reason why it is just there to get?
