Ideal uses and practical applications

Block Ink Black 2.5oz is perfect for: - Creating bold, high-contrast relief prints with strong tonal range - Detailed line work in linocuts and woodcuts where edge control matters - Small editions, proofs, and educational demonstrations in art classrooms

Simple, reliable printing workflow

For the best results, follow a straightforward approach:

• Prepare your block and paper, then tare your workspace with a clean palette.
• Squeeze a small amount of Block Ink Black 2.5oz onto the palette and roll with a brayer until you have a smooth, even coating on the block.
• Ink evenly across the raised surface, ensuring thin, uniform coverage to capture fine details without pooling.
• Press or run the inked block to transfer the image onto your chosen paper. Lift carefully to reveal a clean impression.
• Allow the print to dry undisturbed; if you want extra density, you can apply a light second pass after drying, using careful registration.

Care, storage, and longevity

Keep the jar tightly capped between sessions and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When you’re done printing, clean tools with the appropriate cleaner or mild soap and water according to the label instructions to preserve the ink’s consistency for future projects.
