Pure Printmaking Perfection
Graphic Chemical Products Come to Wet Paint!

Graphic Chemical & Ink is a company that justifiably prides itself on its long history of serving the needs of the professional printmaker. Founded in 1920 to meet the needs of the commercial engraving and letterpress fields, Graphic Chemical discovered that it was working directly with individual printmakers right from the beginning. At that time there were virtually no other sources of products that met the standards of the professional printmaker. Since then, the company has established its reputation as the foremost leader in printmaking products and supplies.

In our effort to expand our printmaking department, Wet Paint has added the entire line of oil-based Perfection Block Print Inks. These inks offer an extensive range of colors similar to the higher series permanent colors found in an oil painting artist's palette. We carry these inks in 1/4-lb tubes; they are also available on request in 1-lb cartridges and tins.

In addition to the inks, we have also brought in Graphic Chemical's group of ink conditioners, which allow the artist to manipulate the ink they use:

  • Sureset Compound is the best overall product for controlling the tack of the ink, and also, when used with the first colors printed, enables those colors to remain open for trapping of colors printed later.
  • Tint Base Extender is a medium for ink, allowing the artist to extend the volume of ink, transparentize the ink, or create tints.
  • Easy Wipe Compound is a material that is generally used in the field of etching, but is equally suited for use in modifying block print inks that are very tacky and leave an uneven impression.
We will further expand our printmaking area in the future to better meet the needs of you printmakers out there. Please check out these new products and let us know what you think!
