Akua Intaglio Water-Based Ink, 8-Ounce Jar, Ultramarine Blue

We got this for my son who likes to compete in a printmaking category for school. Last year, he used regular water based ink and kept having problems with it drying too fast to do a good job. This stuff was great! It doesn't dry right away which gave him plenty of time to be careful and even roll out multiple colors on his matrix before making the actual print. The only caution is that it stays 'powdery' after drying so it's a good idea to spray it with a fixative to avoid smudging.

Professional art materials for art submissions. Easy to wash off hands. Water soluble.

Great product for doing Intaglio ink. Easy clean up and nice product for making art.

The product works great but what a mess it creates!

Excellent ink for printmaking....arrived timely and well packaged..will continue to purchase from this company

Not black, more like a greasy translucent gray. Really disappointed.The print on the left is speedball, the print on the right it Akua “carbon black”.What a bummer

Not as bad as similar instances reported in other reviews, but the same problem. Not unusable, but inconvenient, and a bit messy.

Ordered Yellow Ochre, which compared to the picture is more closer to Brown than the image suggests. Also the cap was slightly used and the silver seal had already been lifted halfway. There's a decent amount of product but still...I'm taking a printmaking course in school so all this is new to me.
