Achieve Brilliant Prints with Authentic Akua Ink
Akua Intaglio Titanium White ink offers printmakers a brilliant, lightfast, and non-toxic option for intaglio, etching, monotype, gel, and collagraph techniques. This water-based soy ink adheres to plastic, wood, linoleum, or metal plates, requiring no special ventilation or fireproof containers. Imported for Indian artists, it provides a high-quality alternative to local options.
Unlike inks that dry on the plate, Akua Intaglio inks dry through absorption, allowing for extended working time. This unique property, combined with its versatility, makes it a preferred choice for artists seeking consistent results and vibrant prints. It can be used with other Akua Liquid Pigments and Modifiers for custom colour mixing.
This 227ml (8 fl oz) jar of Titanium White ink is available for purchase in India with all customs duties and GST included. Enjoy easy cleanup with just soap and water, ensuring a hassle-free printmaking experience. Your order will be shipped via ExpressBox for reliable delivery across India.
The Akua System: Superior Printmaking Performance
Developed by printmakers, Akua Intaglio inks deliver unmatched working properties and brilliant colours. Unlike many local inks that may have inconsistent drying times or require harsh solvents, Akua's water-based soy formula dries solely through absorption. This means your ink stays workable on the plate, allowing for detailed adjustments and richer prints. It adheres to a variety of surfaces including plastic, wood, linoleum, and metal, offering exceptional versatility. The system integrates seamlessly with Akua Liquid Pigments and Modifiers for customisation. Imported for Indian artists, this ink ensures professional-grade results without compromising on ease of use or cleanup.
Who It's For vs. Who Should Skip It
This ink is perfect for printmakers, artists, and students exploring intaglio, etching, monotype, gel printing, or collagraph techniques who value vibrant colours, lightfastness, and easy cleanup. It’s ideal for those working in studios without special ventilation. Skip if you require inks that dry rapidly on the plate or if you are specifically looking for oil-based inks with a different working property. While non-toxic, it is intended for art use, not for direct skin application or cosmetic purposes.
