  2. Dispense a small amount: Place a little ink onto a suitable inking surface.

  3. Roll out the ink: Use a lino printing roller, or brayer, to distribute the ink evenly into a thin, consistent layer.

  4. Ink your plate: Roll the ink across the raised areas of your carved design.

  5. Make your print: Transfer the image onto suitable printmaking paper using your preferred printing method.

  6. Clean your tools: Wash suitable tools with warm, soapy water before the ink dries.

Ink Coverage and Working Time

Approximately 1 mL of ink can cover an A5 plate measuring 148 × 210 mm, depending on the thickness of application and the printing technique used. This makes the 80 mL tube a useful option for artists working on multiple prints.

The standard working time is approximately 15 minutes, while drying on paper takes around 30 minutes under suitable conditions. Actual results can vary with the amount of ink applied, the paper, and environmental conditions.
