Dan - I regularly use this ink - (but I thin it with the watersoluble
vechicule which I think may make cleanup easier) - don't let it dry 
up on the slab, block or roller- I wash the block first very quickly 
with dish detergent then scrape remaining ink off glass
slab with palette knife then quickly run evrything under very hot water
with detergent and have no problems -I did have problems at first when 
I was using (old, I think)  water base extender but the fresh vechicule 
(from Graph Chem)seems to keep the ink more easily soluble.
Incidentally, I was just using up some (old?) Speedball ink for the sheep
and had problems with it drying up too quickly on the slab which the Graph 
Chem never does

Dan,
Welcome to the baren and you are so lucky to be in NYC. There are two good
printmakers there, April Vollmer, who teaches often (and is a funny talented
and gracious lady) and Sarah Hauser. I do not know Sarah personally like I
do April, but if she is as nice in person as she is on the internet you are
in good shape. I am not sure if Sarah teaches, but she certainly is
competant as a printmaker. So you are doubly lucky. There are so many
resources for you in NYC, I am sure it makes the rest of us jealous!
We cannot wait to see what you produce, once you truly become a moku hanga
convert...it sort of sneaks up on you and suddenly you are hooked!
Best to you,
Barbara Mason
Portland Oregon

Thanks Sarah and Myron for your great sheep prints!

I thought I'd have mine on their way soon but I've had a
disappointment - In aid of haste (since I'm very busy right now
delivering ptgs to various shows) I purchased and used a handy
sized material called 'New Improved Speedy-Cut Carving Block
Product' (sounds like a butter substitute!) by Speedball. In fact
it cut like butter and is rather like the Mars erasers but worse!
I seem to fare much better with the resistance of wood -so I may
have to make another or if I don't, everyone will have to forgive
my strange and childish looking  'sheep grazing'

Has anyone else used this product??

Dan, Try a couple of drops of ammonia whit your water. It works well 
on all water based inks.(unless GC has some secret formula???)

April,
  I checked out your website, and the listing for
classes.  I am tempted to take the class, but I have a
few questions.  
Do you have a supply list for the class?
  (I have a smattering of tools of my own, but I know
I don't have everything that would be needed.)
Is there storage for students at the shop, or is
everything taken back after each class? ( I ask
because I would probably be taking the train into the
city from LI)
These things will help me get an idea of how well I
could swing this class along with my MFA classes.  I
looked at your students works that you have on your
website, and think your class looks great.  Thank you
ahead of time for any help you can give me.

Sincerely,
Dan Kitchen
