Their soft consistency and balanced pigment load make them a joy to roll, transfer, and print, especially on\u00a0lino blocks<\/strong>\u00a0and other relief surfaces.<\/p>\n

Six Exquisite Pastel Shades<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This collection features\u00a0Sage Green, Mustard Yellow, Powder Blue, Peach, Pale Violet<\/strong>, and\u00a0Soft Pink<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 each thoughtfully formulated to provide consistency, depth, and reliability straight from the tube.

Safe Wash Technology with Professional Performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As part of the\u00a0Safe Wash Relief Ink<\/strong>\u00a0series, these inks are oil-based yet completely washable using ordinary soap and water. There\u2019s no need for turpentine or other harmful solvents, making them ideal for artists working in home studios, schools, and professional print workshops. Crafted from\u00a0high-quality pigments rather than dyes<\/strong>, the inks boast exceptional\u00a0lightfastness<\/strong>, ensuring that your prints retain their colour and vibrancy over time.<\/p>\n

For Lino Printing, Block Printing, and Beyond<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The inks\u2019 smooth formulation ensures even coverage and strong adhesion to your chosen surface. Their\u00a0opaque, buttery texture<\/strong>\u00a0allows both subtle layering and crisp detail work, giving printmakers full creative control.<\/p>\n
