Excellent video Holly !! Thanks for taking the time for your presentation and your info !! I live in Connecticut, USA and we are having a dryer winter as usual so should not take too long to dry !! 🙂🙃😎

Very interesting video again, Holly. I had a tour of the Cranfield factory a couple of years ago with a group from Cardiff Print Workshop. It was fascinating, MD Michael gave us a talk about all the manufacturing processes, followed by a guided tour of the factory. When I started printmaking about 6 years ago I invested in cheap water-based inks, mainly Jackson's, so I'm reluctant to spend a lot of money on more expensive oil based. Many thanks for all your videos... very succinct and easy to watch!

Oh yes, Michael is very helpful and extremely knowledgeable!

Just my personal experience experimenting with inks; if you live in a very humid area (tropical or subtropical in my case) Caligo safe wash can take literal months to dry. Even when placed in a dry closet with de-humidifiers! It’s a lovely ink but wasn’t a good fit for my location. The speedball ink actually worked better for me and resulted in only a couple days to dry. Just my experiences (and lots of money spent on projects that never dried!) that hopefully helps others

@Handprinteduk 2 года назад

Gosh that is a long time! I cannot claim to have tried printing in a tropical climate - it's very far from it here in the UK!

It is minus 20C this morning as I watch and would like to suggest an in person demonstration but as I wait the invitation I could suggest cobalt or manganese driers. A little is a lifetime supply.

@Ghost-lt4sf 2 года назад

So glad I saw this! I'm from the Caribbean and this very much applies. Thank you for sharing!

@lisalovelylpa 2 года назад

I just started with oil based ink and wood block printing and wow one color takes over a week to dry lol but luckily I do other things in the art gallery so not waiting around for ink to dry. My biggest issue is the ink not coming off the block even , I get like speckled areas on the paper with no ink. Thanks for the video.

@Handprinteduk 2 года назад

Switching to a thinner, smoother paper should help you get even coverage. Also applying more pressure with a baren or press can help.

@loukasmorley4143 9 месяцев назад

Hello Holly - do you have any block printing inks that work well with both paper & Fabric-water based ideally ? Great video many thanks Loukas

@zoogrrl5309 Год назад

I'm sorry, i know this is an older video but i'm in the process of setting up a printmaking portfolio at home in preparation of graduating and losing access to my school's large studio space soon. I really want to use water based inks for the cleanup and drytime, but i'm intending to sell prints. Are both water based inks and oil based inks considered to be archival grade? If i'm selling prints do i need to disclose that they're made with water-based inks? This is a very informal video!

@orelhaindiscreta Год назад

Dear Holly, thanks for the video. I find water based inks more difficult to spread with the brayer. I find it more slippery. It's my problem it's normal? I can I modify the ink "thakiness". Thanks!

@orelhaindiscreta 3 года назад

Hello, Holly! Thanks for the video and for the clear explanation. Can you tell me if there's an extender for water based inks? Kind regards

@Handprinteduk 3 года назад

Yes, lots of water-based inks have extenders. I'd advise you buy the one from the same range as the inks themselves.

@needle.thread.watercolor-jloh 4 месяца назад

Once the print dries, can you colorize your print with watercolor when using the Cranfield Caligo or will the water dissolve the ink on the print?

@BlueLineofthesky Месяц назад

Hi. I have a question: can Cranfield be used on textile like cotton? It is water resistant? Thank you!

@steffipilasch2641 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this Video! I began with water based (without knowing there are any differences). And i am most time happy with it BUT with golden, copper and silver with Schmincke it is not quite nice to work with, the printing quality just looks messy. So i was thinking to take my money and buy from UK or NL (where i only can buy cranfield golden, copper & silver). Did you know maybe the reason why it is just there to get? Great video! Love to watch your videos, they are always helpful and interesting :)

@Handprinteduk 3 года назад

Cranfield is made in the UK so it's probably easier to get it here for that reason. The Cranfield metallics are beautiful. We've made a video about cleaning them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tu7P7hGBI0k.html

What is the experience of oil based inks on different types of Lino and Lino alternatives

@grekori748 6 месяцев назад

Hello Holly.. Can I thin the oil-based Ink with .. say Alcohol, Paint Thinner? or with whatever you suggest?

@mengslzr Год назад

Can I use an acrylic retarder for these water soluble inks to make the drying time longer?

@nancymoore9965 Год назад

What if the water based inks won’t dry?

@fraufuchs9555 2 года назад

How about water based intaglio inks? The only one I know is Akua, but is there an alternative?

@Handprinteduk 2 года назад

Akua inks are soya-based which is slightly different. Intaglio inks need longer open times and they need to be a different consistency so oil-based (or soya-based) is the norm

@romelmadrayart Год назад

Hi, would you say that the ink prints need to be sealed and if so with what?i also do mixed media drawings with graphite underneath the print, which is sorta transparent , would you say that the oil based ink on top would seal the drawing underneath?

@Handprinteduk Год назад

You shouldn't need to seal the prints at all. It's difficult to predict how inks will work with other media underneath so I would suggest doing some experiments first.

@Emma-my7xd 2 года назад

What kind of papier I need for oil based ink? I have a problem to find it.

@Handprinteduk 2 года назад

Printmaking paper will be fine for water based or oil based ink. You need something smooth and strong. If you are printing by hand then no thicker than 250gsm is recommended around 150gsm is ideal.

@SpeedomusicSM Год назад

What is the best ink for use on a cd cover , something made of card with a slight gloss and will be touched lots

@Handprinteduk Год назад

I think you'd need an acrylic based ink but I haven't tried this myself so can't recommend anything for sure, sorry.

Sorry would Oil based Ink work on wood for screen printing ?

@Handprinteduk Год назад

No, these are relief printing inks and aren't suitable for screen printing. You need screen printing inks like these: handprinted.co.uk/collections/inks-for-paper/products/speedball-acrylic-screen-printing-inks

@declancursio2531 Год назад

@@Handprinteduk yes but would any Oil based acrylic ink work w screen printing?

@Handprinteduk Год назад

@@declancursio2531 No, oil based inks aren't used for screen printing. Plastisols or solvent based inks can be used in specialised circumstances but usually water-based screen printing inks are best

@orion7741 2 года назад

Oil or Water based inks?? Neither! lol. if you want true archival quality ink the only option to go with is Rubber based inks. they are absolutely amazing!! and they are just so much better than any other inks out there.

@Handprinteduk 2 года назад

Yes, rubber based inks are an option too. Not suitable for everyone though so it's nice to have other options
