Traditional Etching Inks

Since 1862, Charbonnel has been providing the highest-quality inks and grounds for intaglio and lithography to the most renowned artists of all time: from Renoir, Degas, Lautrec and Picasso to present day masters such as Rauschenberg, Hockney, Diebenkorn and Thiebaud. The pigments are chosen for their excellent light fastness and low acidity. They are then blended with top-quality oils and finely milled to ensure trouble-free printing and a lasting work of art.
