However, I tried using the black for some wedding invites (a mix of fine strokes, 8pt & 10pt serif type) and got absolutely dreadful results.<br /><br />I cleaned down my press, inked up with some good old fashioned litho ink and without altering anything else got the superb results I aim for.<br /><br />I'll probably keep the Caligo ink for messing around with but I certainly will not be using it for any important jobs.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06773888054056718215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782589265660641845.post-25121387326991880632010-03-13T21:03:33.560+00:002010-03-13T21:03:33.560+00:00Tanya - Sorry no one, Kutuu disappeared, never hea...Tanya - Sorry no one, Kutuu disappeared, never heard from her again.

I'll email Hannah at KUTUU as she bought some and see how's she getting on! On the Caligo product info sheet<br />http://www.caligoinks.com/Products-SafeWashIntaglioInks.html#SafeR<br />it does say for use on woodcuts - so maybe it might be OK?<br />I use VanSon Rubber Based inks (bagged another bargain on ebay!<br />http://kelsey-letterpress.blogspot.com/2009/07/letterpress-ink-oil-or-rubber.html<br />I like these inks as you can leave on the rollers for hours, go off pick the kids up, make tea, go to bed then print the next day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06891485810481378366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782589265660641845.post-61511032949355822992009-09-15T12:22:13.835+01:002009-09-15T12:22:13.835+01:00How are you getting on with these inks ?

I could always continue to clean these items with White Spirit. <br /><br />Caligo are the only company I have found so far who produce the proper CMY process colours, and I'd like to try these out especially as they are transparent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782589265660641845.post-78126079887625021502009-07-05T07:41:59.721+01:002009-07-05T07:41:59.721+01:00Sound interesting!
