I recenlty attended a workshop demo-ing the akua-color water based inks for
monotypes
and intaglio processes...

http://www.waterbasedinks.com/

Much of printmaking has been using oil based & caustic stuff...
the akua-color uses pure pigments in a water based medium
and has a number of advantages for monotype work.
They are archival.
They have two blacks in the series a carbon black (warm)
and a lamp black (cooler).

I have been interested in doing color monotype washes and then overprinting
witth piezo for detail - but thats in the future.

Don't ever say I told anyone to put these inks in an injet.  ;-))

But - - I bet these guys could make an inkjet version

Thanks
