Korn's Lithographic Rubbing Ink Bars

Korn's Lithographic Rubbing Ink bars are used on lithographic stones or aluminium plates to create delicate tints and graded tonal areas, offering a softer alternative to the crisp marks made with tusche or crayon. Rub the ink onto the stone in a circular motion using a soft cloth, building tone gradually until you reach the depth you're after.

A useful addition to any lithographer's toolkit for working areas of soft, even grey alongside bolder drawn marks.

Korn's Lithographic Rubbing Ink bars come in three hardness grades: Soft, Medium and Hard.
