The extensive colour palette offers superb mixing potential, allowing artists to create a virtually limitless range of custom hues. Gamblin's selection of black inks has been specially formulated to meet the needs of printmakers seeking deep, velvety blacks with distinct handling characteristics. Portland Black and Portland Cool Black provide strong lines and medium plate tone, making them ideal for edition work, while Portland Stiff Black offers increased resistance for engravings, mezzotints, and other techniques requiring a firmer ink.
