Printing Inks for Fine Art Printmakers

Caligo have been making inks for fine art printmakers for over 30 years and we are pleased to offer an exciting range of inks that we believe reflect and meet the needs of the contemporary printmaker.

The majority of our ink ranges include the primary (process) colours of cyan, magenta and yellow (CMY) for those printmakers who wish to create colour prints using digital colour separation techniques and photomechanical print processesor as a simple but effective set of primary colours for mixing your own palette.

We take care to select and use lightfast pigments in our formulations and so our inks are rated at least 6 or higher on the International Blue Wool Scale.

Caligo 'Safe Wash' Inks

For printmakers interested in Non-Toxic printmaking, we are pleased to offer a new and innovative range of oil-based inks that can be washed away with liquid soap and water, without the need for harmful and often more expensive solvents. We call these inks ‘Safe Wash’ and they are available for both Relief and Intaglio printing.
