What kind of inks do you like for gelatin printing?
I have played with several different inks and paints for gelatin printmaking. Each one has it’s own strengths and weaknesses. I use speedball water soluble block printing ink. I like that ink for the class because it allows for the transfer of ink from brayer to plate to stencil to paper and back and forth again.
In the gelatin prints above I used:
- top row = speedball water soluble block printing inks
- bottom left = acrylic paint and alcohol scrape
- bottom right = Daniel Smith water soluble block printing inks
