Carbon Black from the Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash range is a classic printmaking black designed to produce strong, reliable impressions. The colour delivers deep tonal density and sharp contrast, making it particularly suited to detailed etching plates and relief prints where clarity of line is essential.<\/p>\n
The Safe Wash formulation provides the handling qualities of a traditional oil-based ink while allowing tools and plates to be cleaned using ordinary soap and water. This makes studio work simpler and removes the need for harsh solvents while maintaining professional print quality.<\/p>\n
The ink has a smooth, buttery consistency that rolls evenly across a slab and transfers cleanly onto plates or blocks. Artists often choose carbon black for line work, fine textures and bold graphic prints due to its strong pigmentation.<\/p>\n
Packaged in a practical 75ml tube, this ink is suitable for both small studio projects and larger edition printing. Whether used for intaglio or relief printmaking, it offers dependable performance and rich results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
