Perfect for lino printing
One of the cheaper inks but great quality. Also vegan so I was able to use it happily knowing it doesn’t use or abuse animals in anyway. Good coverage and a nice rich black in colour.

Essdee Printing Ink
Well, it took a while to find this during Covid as everywhere seemed to be out of stock. I guess everyone's thinking the same as me. in lockdown. Yipeee I can get on with some line prints. Just a selection here. mostly 10cm x 10cm and iv'e worked out you can get just over 400 prints from 1 tube of ink. So I think thats pretty good Value. works out at .018 pence per print. This is I think the best printing ink I've used so far. I would highly recommend this ink

Huge tube , great colour
It’s a huge tube! I didn’t expect it to be that big! I really liked printing with this.. great colour It dries really fast after printing And cleaning the plates and equipment was super quick , even only with water. They stay quite “liquid “ - transparent on paper .. I am not sure if it’s because it’s water based or I applied to scarcely . In the following prints it “caked “ the smaller carving

Great consistency and plenty to go around
Good solid colour with a thick enough consistency to roll evenly and to be able to feel when it's ready. It'll start to get much tackier within a few minutes of rolling out so you have to be aware of the working time, but that in itself can create some interesting textures. Drying time on the paper is longer than you might expect with that in mind so don't rush it. Biggest bonus is the size of the tube. Superb value for money.

It works.
Nothing to dislike. Used for lino cut printing.

It's good, but not for final pieces of work
They are easy to use and print out quite well, but they take days to fully dry. Even on the 3rd day of drying, the ink smudges still. It's decent for practising your prints but not good for using in final pieces of work or giving as gifts etc.

Good quality ink
I've enjoyed using this shade of ink, I wanted something sepia like, and this has worked well. It's good quality, I like the inks from the same range that I have tried so far. They're generously sized tubes and last ages. Happy to recommend.

Bonjour, J'ai reçu un tube tout collant. En réalité je me suis rendu compte que le tube était persé en haut.

Il blu di prussia è arrivato assieme al tubo verde smeraldo, incellophanati singolarmente. Prendendoli in mano ho percepito subito una differenza di peso tra uno e l’altro, così li ho pesati. Il blu di prussia pesava ben 50 grammi in meno dell’altro. Sono perplessa.
