Akua Printmaking

Experience the ultimate creative freedom with a workflow designed to let you experiment without limits. Formulated to dry through absorption rather than evaporation, Akua Inks stay wet on your plate until they meet the fibers of your paper—completely removing the pressure of time constraints. This ground-breaking approach allows you to work at your own pace, ensuring every detail is exactly where you want it before you pull your print.

Beyond their unique drying properties, Akua Inks are made from the highest quality, lightfast pigments and are easily cleaned up with simple soap and water. With a suite of seven modifiers to help you master viscosity and transparency, these inks offer the professional performance and safety that modern printmakers demand. At Speedball, we are proud to provide the tools that allow the artist community to push the boundaries of traditional printmaking with every unique impression.
