Ink spots!

I mentioned in the first monotype post that Speedball is the brand to look for in printmaking supplies. They do seem to have a corner on the market for linocut/block printing stuff, and I have been using their tools for a while, happily. I am no expert when it comes to printmaking, having just reintroduced myself to it after many years with nary a print, but I’m experimenting and learning as I go. One of the things I have learned from other artists is that Speedball inks may not be the best o’ the best in the ink department. Since the first post, I’ve been referred to Daniel Smith and Graphic Chemical & Ink Co. for better inks. I’m sure there are more out there as well.

Still hearing good things about the Createx Monotype print colors though.

If you have any opinions or experience to share on the subject, don’t be shy. And if you’re wondering what all this is about and why there haven’t been any home improvement posts lately, don’t worry - there’s much more on that and everything else on the horizon.
