4.4331 Reviews  Write A Review  Ask Question  


Akua and reconstitutes air-thickened

Avoid adding water to Akua Liquid Pigment inks. Water will cause the inks to dry on the monotype plate and prevent them from releasing onto dry paper. It is medium amber in colour with a liquid consistency.

  • THINS AKUA LIQUID PIGMENT - Use to thin Akua Liquid Pigment if it becomes too thick
  • Add Extender directly to the colours on the palette that have become too thick. Extender will re-constitute “air-thickened” ink. With Extender, the ink will again become loose enough to work easily.
  • Extender can also be added to Akua Liquid Pigment to dilute the pigment and create a more transparent ink without affecting the consistency.
  • FOR USE WITH AKUA LIQUID PIGMENT - For use with Akua Liquid Pigment Ink only; not suitable for use with Akua Intaglio Inks
  • EASY CLEAN-UP - Cleans up easily with water.

Akua Liquid Pigment Modifiers

Various modifiers are available for special effects and for changing the consistency of the ink. Akua’s innovative line of modifiers allows artists to cater to Akua Inks’ viscosity and transparency to suit their printmaking project ideally.

Each of the seven modifiers listed below carries the AP Seal.

TACK THICKENER Thickens Akua Liquid Pigment for use with brayers. Add about 10% Tack Thickener to 90% ink. It is medium amber in colour and has the consistency of molasses.

BLENDING MEDIUM Create wash effects or use them as a resist in monotype printmaking. It is a clear liquid. (Also used to thin Akua Intaglio ink.)

RETARDER Slows drying rate and acts as a release for Akua Liquid Pigment. A few drops in the ink are essential when printing on dry paper. Especially helpful in hot, dry or very cold climates. It is a clear liquid.

EXTENDER Makes Akua Liquid Pigment more transparent and reconstitutes air-thickened ink. It is light amber in colour with a liquid consistency.

TRANSPARENT BASE the Akua Intaglio ink base without any pigment. Add Akua Liquid Pigment to Transparent Base to thicken the ink for use with brayers and create new colours for intaglio printmaking.

RELEASE AGENT Highly recommended for monotype printing with Akua Liquid Pigment, this modifier helps produce rich prints with minimal pressure. Also, it can be rolled over a ghost impression, then printed for a more complete transfer of the remaining ink to the paper.

MAG MIX (Also Called Ink Stiffener) Use with Akua Intaglio. Mix into Akua Intaglio ink to add depth and stiffen the ink. It is clear in colour with a stiff consistency. It is not suitable for Akua Liquid Pigment.
