Resources and Interesting Stuff
Printmaking Supplies
I am now doing demos for Akua Inks with Speeball Art Products, so if you need a demo let me know. You can find out about this amazing ink here https://www.akuainks.com/ I have been using them for over 15 years and they just keep getting better.
www.graphicchemical.com almost everything you need
www.imcclains.com stuff for relief printmaking, mostly Japanese woodblock but they also carry Linoblocks, Paper and Akua Inks
www.takachpress.com/ they have the Cadillac of presses and rollers as well as supplies
www.conradmachine.com/ They make good presses, mine is a combination press like the one they make, mine is about 30 years old and going strong. It is motorized and I am really spoiled by it. The bed drops to take off the pressure so I really like that feature, but it does have a small top roller so has its issues.
