Product Description
SKU: CRA540017
Cranfield Printmakers’ Wax Drier is an easy-to-use additive that is compatible with any Cranfield Traditional or Caligo Safe Wash oil-based printmaking ink, as well as inks from other manufacturers. It has been formulated with a similar viscosity to most oil-based printmaking inks and so can be easily incorporated on the slab with a pallete knife.
The blend of driers (calcium and manganese salts) is chosen and balanced to encourage both surface drying of the printed ink film while allowing slow internal drying over the longer term as the ink thoroughly cures. You may wish to experiment to find the appropriate amount to suit paper, ink film weight and conditions with a recommended addition of 3 to 4%. Cranfield Wax Driers also contain a wax compound making the finished print more resistant to rubbing and marking over the longer term.
Prints dry best when in conditions that are warm and dry, and where there is plenty of moving air. The addition of Printmakers’ Wax Drier in conjunction with these ideal conditions will accelerate the drying time of your printed ink.
