Thanks so much for your comments 💛 For this edition we used VanSon Rubber based inks with no modifiers. When we were working with the black and white prints I think we were using the VanSon Rubber based inks as well as Graphic Chemical Lithography ink. We tried using Akua inks but had no luck (to be fair they are intaglio inks so not made for this process).
Did you have gum arabic in the water you were using to sponge the plate before each inking? If not, that might explain the scumming and line-filling that was happening.
Great insight and question. I did have gum arabic in the water I was using for sponging. It was also mixed with some critic acid. I might have needed more than I put in (it was less than half a shot glass). Totally something to keep in mind and pay more close attention to next time though because you're right that it does help with the scumming issue.
