​Caligo Safe Wash Black (500g can)- Oil based/Cleans up with soap/water (Dick Blick)
Made from polymerized vegetable oil and artist-qualitypigments.
​
Clean up is safe and easy. First remove as much ink as possible by rolling the brayers on newsprint and scraping away any ink left on glass slabs with an Allway Scraper. Apply a layer of liquid soap (no water yet) to the inky surfaces and work it in with a nail brush. You will see the ink breaking down as it mixes with the soap. When all of the ink is loose, wash under warm water, using the brush to help lift and carry away any remaining ink. If any stubborn patches of ink remain, dry the surface with a paper towel, work in more soap and wash again. Water alone sometimes causes the ink to cling so remember the rule "soap before water!" Carefully dry all tools and surfaces before final storage.

Cranfield Traditional Relief Ink (oil based)
