Process/ Primary Colours.

These colours can be used in several ways:

Mix the three colours in varying proportions to create a spectrum of bright colour mixes of your own. You will find you can make a much wider range of greens, purples, blues, reds and oranges than you can achieve with a standard blue, red and yellow ink. Use white and black ( you wont need much !!) and extender to make an even wider range of earth colours, tints and pastels.

 

  • You can over print layers of these inks to create new colours where the transparent coloured layers overlap.
  • These are ready-made for printmakers who need a four colour process set (CMYK) to create colour etchings with multiple plates.
