H2OIL

H2Oil PRINT – unique printmaking ink for relief printing (linocut, xylography, etc.). This ink with pleasant scent is based on linseed oil, is solvent free and perfectly washable with water, even when already dry. Drying time depends on temperature, ventilation, paint layer thickness, and the type of paper used. H2OIL is an oil-based paint that is water-soluble. The linseed oil undergoes polymerization upon exposure to air, which takes significantly longer than the evaporation process typical for water-based paints. However, oil-based inks deliver much richer and deeper print colours. On paper, the drying time is relatively quick compared to traditional oil paints, but it still follows the general characteristics of oil-based media. Therefore, printed works should be left to dry in an empty drawer, cabinet, or hung in a well-ventilated space for a minimum of two weeks. The range of Renesans H2Oil PRINT colours consists of 11 brilliant shades and 1 Transparent Medium. We recommend applying the Renesans Transparent Fixative as a finish to protect the artwork or for apply the next layer of colour.
The high-quality H2Oil PRINT colours contain organic and non-organic pigments with highest light fastness and excellent intensity (especially black). Can be overprinted with other colours. They are intermixable, ready to use and can be diluted with water. Printing tools can be easily cleaned up with water. All colours are available in tubes of 60 ml; Black also in plastic jars of 250 and 500 ml.
