Akua Inks:

Revolutionary water-based printmaking inks

Akua Fine Art Printmaking - Melbourne Etching Supplies - Fine Art Materials Online

Developed by professional printmaker, Susan Rostow, Akua Inks revolutionise the print studio.

Formulated to dry through absorption, not evaporation, Akua Inks remove any time constraints from the creative process since the inks will only dry once printed into the fibers of the paper.  Akua Inks also eliminate the need to handle toxic solvents, as both the Akua Intaglio® andAkua Liquid Pigment® lines clean up easily with soap and water. These ground-breaking inks are made from the highest quality, lightfast pigments, and are complemented by seven modifiers, giving artists the utmost flexibility to experiment with the inks’ viscosity and transparency.
