______________________________________________________ IZOTE INKS are made from a classic oleo-resinous copperplate varnish, are highly pigmented inks with exceptional tonal range and density, especially well-suited to printing fine aguatints and photogravure.
The inks are available in five colors:
• Umber-bone black is our most popular very warm tone black, “El Vaquerito.” (The Cowboy)
• Cowboy Verde, a slightly greener version of the above, 300g.
• French black, a traditional blend of frankfort and bone black pigments, is a warmer, creamy stiff and dense black ink.
• Vine black is a cooler, looser black ink.
• Bone Black is a more transparent warm ink
• Ultramarine Blue
• Transparent Base
All the inks have exceptional tonal range and can be extended for images requiring more transparent bases.

ACCESSORIES: NEW Dust Removing Roller
This 4 inch roller safely picks up dust and grit from your aquatint screens and positives (digital and film) protects your screen from damage and eliminates pinholes, sunspots and resultant print retouching. Used by the semi-conductor industry in clean rooms. This roller works much better than brushes or compressed air. Essential for all photo platemaking processes. Roller cleans with water or by quickly rolling it onto adhesive contact paper. SHIPPING MARCH 12! $45.00 + S&H ORDER ONLINE Agate Burnisher
Agate Burnishers are commonly used for gold leaf but the super hard stone burnishers also make great burnishers for etching and copper gravure. The smooth stone does not mar the metal like a metal burnisher and repairs scratches and blemishes better than metal burnishers. Four tip shapes available. The stone can be polished on the inside of a piece of leather (aka leather strop) with rubbing compound. Click image for detail. Highly recommended by Unai San Martin.
