In this video, I compare two different intaglio collagraph inks and discuss the pros and cons of each.
The first ink is a water-based ink that is easy to clean up and doesn't require any special ventilation.
The second ink is a oil-based ink that dries more quickly and gives a more consistent result.
Both inks have their pros and cons, but I certainly have a favourite

Collagraph refers to a type of intaglio printmaking technique intaglio where textured materials are glued onto a flat surface to create an intagliographic plate. The raised areas of the collagraphic plate will hold ink while intaglio the recessed areas will not, resulting in an intagliographic image. Often, different materials can be used to create different effects - for example, hard materials will create sharp lines while softer materials will create fuzzy lines. Intagliographers typically use a variety of materials to create their collagraphs, including cardboard, fabric, string, or even leaves! Once the collagraphic plate is completed, it is inked and wiped in the same manner as an etching plate, and then passed through a printing press along with a sheet of paper. The end result is a beautiful, unique print!
