Several years were required to establish the perfect stability of the colours and ensure the highest quality: a quality on which Charbonnel’s reputation has been built. The Aqua Wash range meets all the criteria for artist quality inks. It has a high pigmentation concentration identical to that of standard inks, and can be used in all intaglio printing techniques: such as engraving, dry-point, mezzotint, etching and aquatint, as well as monotype and relief printing techniques such as linocut and wood prints.

Charbonnel Mediums:

Thick Transparent Medium (White Lake) can be mixed with any colour in the range, increasing transparency while retaining the same texture. Soft Black Wiping Medium can be mixed with blacks considered too thick and difficult to wipe, while maintaining saturation and intensity. AQUA WASH Oil is a colourless fluid medium; it is also the binding oil of the AQUA WASH range. It is used to dilute colours considered too thick when inking or wiping, while preserving ink quality.
