The new AP (Approved Product) Seal identifi es art materials that are safe and that are certifi ed in a toxicological evaluation by a medical expert to contain no materials in suffi cient quantities to be toxic or injurious to humans, including children, or to cause acute or chronic health problems.
The AQUA WASH range meets all the criteria for «artist» quality inks. It has a high pigmentation concentration identical to that of standard inks, and can be used in all intaglio printing techniques: such as engraving, dry-point, mezzotint, etching and aquatint, as well as monotype and relief printing techniques such as linocut and wood prints.
Art schools, and an increasing number of print workshops are now searching for water washable solutions (out of a concern for safety, the environment and owing to the toxicity of solvents, recycling issues, etc.).
AQUA WASH inks are genuine oily inks for use in all techniques whether etching or relief printing. They must not be confused with water and resin based inks such as gum Arabic or cellulose-tempera based inks that can be «re-softened» and are limited to monotype or relief techniques (linocut, wood engraving).
