Water soluble inks
Adigraf water-soluble block printing inks are designed to dissolve in water. They can easily be cleaned with water. Stains on clothes can be removed as well if done quickly with a classic stain remover and water. The Adigraf Water Soluble Inks can also be thinned with water. Block Printing Colours are reusable by removing your leftover colour with a palette knife and putting it into an air-tight container for your next print-making session.
 
Transferring your design
Squeeze a small amount of paint onto a glass plate, and spread the ink out evenly with an ink roller until you have an even layer of paint on the roller. Then with the inked-up roller, roll over the lino print until the design is covered evenly. If you are printing at home, for beginners, we recommend placing the paper on top of your printing plate and using a spoon, clean ink roller or baren to move over the paper to distribute the paint evenly. If you are an advanced block printer, we recommend using the registration technique, such as the taped corner method by applying pins, and tabs. For professional results, we recommend using a press or visiting a professional block printing studio.
 
Wide Range of Surfaces
Paper: For best results, we are recommending printing on paper above 250gms with high absorbency and a smooth finish to get the best outcome for your design.
Textile: You can print on natural textiles such as cotton, linen hemp or bamboo, however, you are not able to wash the achieved result due to the colours fading with washing. Before printing your design always make sure to test the colour on a small bit of the material to make sure you are happy with the result.
 
Canvas: To receive a better result while printing on canvas, we recommend using our FW Mixed Media Canvases with a rigid cardboard backing to achieve a better registration and a clear print result. If you print on traditional canvas, make sure to stretch the canvas with the supplied wedges and underlay it further to achieve the best print results.
 
Others: You can print on wood, brick or walls using our Adigraf green printing plates. Prior testing is recommended. Adigraf Water Soluble Block Printing Inks are recommended for indoor use only.
