Traditional ink for letterpress printing. 
High-quality oil-based ink and traditional components for printing metallic movable type: lead, tin and photopolymer letterpress plates.

This ink is dense and special to be applied with a rubber roller. High density black and extraordinary quality.

The series of letterpress inks have been designed to offer extraordinary consistency and depth in blacks. The formulation of this ink follows the tradition of manufacturing printing inks. It is an ideal ink to be applied on movable type created with typographic alloy (lead, antimony and tin), but it is also incredible when working with photopolymer letterpress plates or even with wooden type.
