Akua® represents the same dedication to quality and innovation upon which Speedball® was built. Developed by professional printmaker, Susan Rostow, Akua Inks offer artists an unprecedented printmaking experience. Formulated to dry through absorption, not evaporation, Akua Inks remove any time constraints from the creative process since the inks will only dry once printed into the fibers of the paper. Akua Inks also eliminate the need to handle toxic solvents as both our Akua Intaglio and

Akua Pin Press

The Akua Pin Press is a portable press designed for light pressure printing processes such and monotype, drypoint and collagraph. It offers an economical alternative to standard printmaking presses. The Pin Press is 20″ long, which allows for printing from plates 19 3/4″ or smaller, and is precisely-machined to provide uniform contact between roller, plate and paper. Its all metal construction ensures long-lasting durability and its crescent-shaped handles allow for ergonomic printing while also acting as the press’ stand between uses.
