Essdee Block Print Ink for Linocut and Relief Printing:

Essdee block print ink offers a range of colours for artists, students and printmakers working with linocut, block printing and other relief printmaking projects. The Smartfox NZ collection features 15 Essdee printing inks, all supplied in 300ml containers, covering traditional artist colours, fluorescent shades and metallic finishes.

Whether you are producing single-colour prints or planning artwork with several colour layers, the range provides options for different colour palettes and visual effects.

Essdee Traditional Block Printing Ink Colours:

The traditional colour range includes warm earth tones, greens, blues, reds and yellows.

For natural and earthy palettes, choose from Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna and Leaf Green. Other green options include Viridian and Brilliant Green, while Turquoise and Sky Blue provide cooler colours for landscapes, abstract patterns and decorative artwork.

Crimson and Vermillion offer contrasting red shades, while Lemon Yellow provides a brighter yellow option.

These colours are suitable for printmakers exploring botanical designs, geometric patterns, illustrations and other creative relief printing projects.

Essdee Fluorescent Block Print Inks:

For artwork requiring brighter colour choices, the collection includes Essdee Fluorescent Green, Fluorescent Pink and Fluorescent Red.

These fluorescent printing inks provide alternatives to the traditional colour range, particularly for bold graphic designs, lettering, repeated patterns and decorative prints.

Each fluorescent colour is supplied in a 300ml container, matching the size of the other Essdee inks in this collection.

Essdee Metallic Block Printing Inks:

The metallic range includes Essdee Metallic Silver and Metallic Bronze.

These inks offer metallic colour effects for decorative printmaking, patterned artwork and projects incorporating contrasting finishes.

Silver provides a cooler metallic appearance, while Bronze offers a warmer metallic tone. Both are available in 300ml containers.

Choosing Essdee Ink for Your Printmaking Project:

When selecting block printing ink, consider your intended design, colour combinations and whether you prefer traditional, fluorescent or metallic effects.

For botanical and landscape-inspired designs, greens, blues and earth tones provide useful colour choices. Fluorescent shades are worth considering for more vivid artwork, while metallic inks introduce a different decorative finish.

If you are planning a multi-colour linocut print, select your colours together so you can assess how they will complement or contrast with one another.

The collection focuses specifically on Essdee 300ml block printing inks, making it straightforward to compare individual shades without differences in container size.
