Review: I really like these inks! - Im new to printmaking but these charbonnelle inks have been so great to work with. Nice quality , easy clean up. Its also easy to tinker with if the consistency is ever a bit off. One tube I had a tiny crack in the back crease and the ink was a bit too thick but a drop of linseed oil brought it right back to where i needed it. And just the same if its bit thin out of the tube you can just place it on an absorbent sheet of paper and wait a bit and its fine. I'm a fan that would reccommend! Review: This ink is the only brand I will use. - After using another brand of inks, the Charbonnel Aqua is a true joy. The cleanup and the blending..wonderful. I'm hooked! I donated all of the other inks I had. ## Features - Our Intaglio Inks are oil based, highly pigmented and non-harmful.
