Aqua Linoprint paint - Schmincke - 325, Carmine Red, 35 ml

Aqua Linoprint linocut ink by Schmincke.

Aqua Linoprint inks offer a variety of possibilities for single and multi-color linocut and fabric printing.

All 18 colors of Aqua Linoprint inks are developed on a gum arabic basis. They contain high-quality organic and inorganic pigments and are characterized by particularly good lightfastness (4 or 5 stars) and exceptional color depth. All paints can be applied directly or can be mixed with each other and diluted with water. The optimal drying time of the paints enables a perfect finish. Aqua Linoprint paints dry in 15 minutes and are wipe-resistant, but not waterproof, so they can be washed off if necessary. The paints apply with incredible ease due to their smooth consistency.

In addition to the linocut technique using a specialized press, which is preferred by many experienced artists, it is also possible to make stamps. For example, a linoleum plate or rubber board can be used as a stamp. The paint should be applied to the plate, carefully spread on a rubber roller, and then rolled out over the entire surface of the stamp. The design is then transferred to any surface by pressing evenly.

You can use many materials as linocut substrates. In addition to paper and cardboard, you can also print on felt or fabric. A variety of linocut media and chisels provide additional possibilities for creating amazing effects.
