Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash Relief Ink Set of 6 – 75ml Tubes
Professional Lino Printing Inks with Easy Clean-Up
The Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash Relief Ink Set of 6 offers the same richness and handling as professional oil-based inks, but with one major advantage — they can be cleaned up safely and easily using soap and water. This makes them a favourite among lino printing artists, students, and professional studios seeking high-quality results without the need for solvents or harmful chemicals. The Safe Wash formula ensures that your prints retain a luxurious, even finish with outstanding colour intensity and crisp detail.
Six Essential Colours for Creative Freedom
This comprehensive set includes six 75ml tubes: Black, Process Blue, Process Red, Process Yellow, Opaque White, and an Extender. The three process colours can be blended to produce an exceptional range of hues — from vibrant oranges and purples to natural greens and muted tones — offering far greater flexibility than standard primary inks. The addition of white and black helps you achieve perfect tonal balance, while the extender allows for adjustment of transparency and ink body during printing sessions. These inks work beautifully on lino blocks, woodblocks, and other relief plates.
Eco-Friendly Packaging for Conscious Printmakers
Cranfield’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in the recycled kraft card box, which safely houses the six tubes while maintaining a professional presentation. The box includes a message tag linking to the Cranfield website, where artists can access expert colour-mixing advice and printing tips. The eco packaging not only protects your inks but also reinforces Cranfield’s ethos of supporting responsible, environmentally friendly printmaking.
Perfect for Beginners and Professionals Alike
Whether you’re exploring colour mixing for the first time or refining your professional printmaking practice, this set provides the ideal starting point. It’s both an affordable introduction to the Caligo Safe Wash range and a practical choice for studios seeking reliable, easy-clean lino printing inks. Purchasing this set offers a small saving compared to buying individual tubes, while encouraging creativity through colour experimentation — a key value in Cranfield’s philosophy.
Embrace the art of lino printing with the trusted performance of Cranfield Caligo inks — combining professional-grade pigment, environmental responsibility, and effortless clean-up for beautiful prints every time.
