Grade 9 Art - Day 50 "Soy-Based Ink Print"



In today's class, we begin our printmaking unit using Akua Intaglio ink.  This product is soy based, slow drying, and is easy to clean up with just soap and water.

We will roll the ink onto a sheet of Lexan using a brayer. We then remove the ink that we do not want to print onto our paper.  This ink takes days to dry on the Lexan so there is no rush to run it through the printing press.  Here is an example from a previous student that used this ink.
