Inks for Fine Art Printmakers

Caligo manufactures oil-based printing inks for the contemporary fine art printmaker. We have been making inks for more than thirty years and we pleased to remain a family-owned company.

The Caligo product range includes traditional printing inks for etching, lithography, relief and letterpress printing. We also make inks for specialist printmaking applications such as inks for Collotype printing and Letterpress.

NEW !! We have recently introduced a new range of  Safe Wash Inks (for relief and intaglio printing.) Caligo Safe Wash inks are oil-based, but they have been designed to clean up safely with just liquid hand soap and water. No solvents are needed. We are in the process of updating our website so please check these pages for the latest information about these new products. For ordering information, please visit our Contact page.

If you have any questions or comments about Caligo Safe Wash inks, please write to us at info@caligoinks.com

We understand the importance of working closely with printmakers and we aim to develop and manufacture inks that reflect and meet the needs of all our customers. All our printing inks are tested and approved by practising printmakers.

Caligo are one of the few independent ink manufacturers that have the facilities and experience to make printing inks from dry pigment colours.

This means we can control over every aspect of ink formulation and production – starting from the initial selection of raw materials and right through to the filling and sealing of the tin or tube of ink in your print studio.
