Clean Up In Water 

To meet the demands of art and craft students, Derivan created a solvent-free block printing ink. While still providing the performance of professional-quality oil-based printing ink, it is non-toxic and simple to clean up.

Extend Open Time

Derivan Block Ink has been formulated for lino and wood-block printing on paper. Derivan Block Ink will remain open on the block for some time but, once printed, will dry quickly to facilitate the stacking of prints after each class. If a longer open time is required, mix the ink with Derivan Drying Retarder to slow the drying time.

There are 250ml jars and 75ml tubes of Derivan Block Ink available. The constancy of Derivan Block Ink will guarantee you precise, sharp prints.

Fixing Lino Prints For Multi Plate | Multi Colour Lino Cut Printing

When printing multiple colours or plates, you must either let the block ink dry thoroughly between prints or heat-fix the block ink if you wish to print immediately.
Before printing another edition over the top, use a heat gun or an oven to lightly heat the print before printing another edition on top to achieve heat fixing.

*TAKE CARE NOT TO BURN THE SUBSTRATE WHILE DOING SO  –Aim to bring the print to over 60C for 60 seconds. This will allow subsequent prints to be applied without “wetting” or sticking to the previously printed colour.
