Printers ink usually comes in Tins or tubes and is used by offset printers

It is fairly thick out of the van, but can be thinned down (just remember it is
a ink so it dries quick)

Ink is what is used to actually put the writing / designs on the paper, don't
think of it like a ink wash

Lithograph supply companies or perhaps a local printing house could get you some

Some brands I have used before include A.B. Dick and roto

Subject: [MasterclassMiniaturePainters] A Question about "Printer's
Ink"...(question also posted at CMON)


I'm wondering if someone on this list can help. I'm trying to track down this
illusive stuff called "Gold or Silver Printers Ink". I can never find reference
of this with a brand name. Does anyone have information on the form it comes in,
how it's used (I know lots of Historical Miniaturists use this, presumably with
oils), how expensive and how easy it is to acquire?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. As noted, I've also posted a
similar question up on CMON, but no bites yet :)

Many Thanks!
