Thanks for the comments on using my little press with the water based inks.
I have decided to run this block with black oil inks on very white paper. I
am loving the contrast. I do however have some other blocks that I wanted
to definitely run in water based inks. I will experiment. I was going to
any way, but some times it is easier to get advice from those who have tried
it, can save frustration along the way. Besides I have that new piece of
linoleum to try and the design idea using 4 small blocks, water based, press
run. I will try a stiff cover for the water based blocks, that is a great
tip! This season is turning out to be art fun! New ideas, using the press
more, not less, etc. Eww, I just got another idea, one of those art
moments! Thanks.
Marilynn

Subject: [Baren 34912] oil based ink questions and Exchange 35
Send Message: To this poster

Hi all,
As I was printing the print for this exchange I noticed that the ink would stick to itself.
I used Graphic Chemical intense black and added some setswell.
It would happen when I was rolling it out on the block. I would be rolling along then the brayer would sort of stick and slide.
Is there an additive to prevent this? Should I have added a litttle plate oil?

Also, I would like to use white ink but I was scared off when I tried GC white a while ago and I swear it never dried.
Maybe it was just a funny lot. Any suggestions on a white ink?

The printing of the black worked out fine but just felt funny rolling it out.
Here is a link to the finished print for exchange 35 so don't look if you want to wait for the collated package.

Thanks,
