Cranfield Caligo, Safe Wash Relief Ink, 75ml Tube, Black, BKCN1860

The best printing ink, value for money you can get. It gives you results that oil based ink does. Feels like your working with an oil based product but when it comes to cleaning all you need is soap and water. Very easy to clean and great results. Very happy.

A little goes a long way, lovely smooth ink. I wasn't anticipating the drying time, having bot used an ink like this befire, took 3/4 days. But with planning and drying space I would definitely prefer the use this.

I was looking for a safe ink to use on wood type and this worked very well. It is not as tacky as oil based letterpress inks and a bit thinner. It is easy to clean off with vegetable oil and paper towels. I found that cleaning with vegetable oil did not remove all of the pigment so before putting the type away I wiped it over with white spirit.

My favourite relief ink since 1st purchase. Using for linoprint with rubber and vinyl blocks on paper and card. Also works well on fabrics although requires much longer drying time than paper.

Very black indeed. Lovely sharp Lino prints. Allow at least 48 hours to dry. Cleans off surprisingly easily.

Really good ink, gets really nice quality Lino prints. Dries to a satin finish. Takes a while to dry but I find it less likely to leave marks where I don’t want them.

As a long time user of oil based inks for printing, I found this, although good for rolling and quality of print, a really hard product to clean up. It requires much soap, which leaves your hands dry and not particularly easy to get off your brayer. I think oils are easier to clean up and don’t endanger your brayer or board. Maybe this product works better for woodblock printing, rather than Lino printing.Also for those expecting this to be a quicker drying ink than the usual oil ink, be warned, this is a very slow drying product.

I'm using this ink for mono printing using wild flowers from the local park.This brand was recommended to me by a friend, and it's excellent quality. It's much thicker than the basic printing ink I was using, and takes a bit of getting used to.I also found it pretty messy.However it leaves a clear, true black print .Thanks for reading, I hope you find this review helpful.
