Cranfield : Caligo : Safe Wash : Relief Ink : 250g Tin : Payne's Gray

This innovative range of oil-based inks can be washed away with liquid soap and water, without the need for harmful and often more expensive solvents. Ideal for printmakers interested in a safe and non-toxic alternative. Caligo 'safe wash' inks are available for both relief and intaglio printing. Contains a small percentage of driers (less than 1%).

Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash Relief Inks are suitable for all types of relief printing, for example, linocut, woodcut, wood engraving, photopolymer, and letterpress.

These inks are oil-based so you can still use many of the modifiers used with traditional inks such as magnesium carbonate/talc, cobalt/manganese driers, or Caligo wiping compound/tack reducer.

We also stock Caligo Safe Wash Oil - a washable oil that you can add to any ink from the Safe Wash range when you need to thin your ink a little.
