Da Vinci Forte Synthetics Series 263 Rigger Brushes

The major development of inks in recent years has been the increasing use of pigments and acrylic resins. The difference between the dye-based inks and the pigmented inks are a slight reduction in colour intensity, but much improved resistance to fading. FW Artists’ Ink is an acrylic-based, pigmented, water-resistant ink (on most surfaces) in a range of 38 colours, all of which have either a 3 or 4 star rating for permanence. Such a high degree of lightfastness over such a range of fully intermixable colours makes them ideal for use by artists in the production of pictures for permanent display. Equally, however, colours can be substantially diluted to achieve the most subtle of tones, very similar in character to watercolour. Such washes will dry to a water-resistant film on virtually all surfaces and successive layers of colour can be laid over. FW Artists’ Inks work well through airbrushes and technical pens.

The paints-inks are based on the Belgian binding agent STANDOLEJ, which offers special viscosity for graphical techniques, mainly for intaglio and relief. The etching paint has two main components: dyes and binding agents, also known as binders. The production process of these paints is composed of two main stages: component mixing and etching paint mixing. They dry quickly with no transparency or spilling and can be mixed and thinned with no risk of changing their initial properties. Etching inks are thinned with oils and mix well, which means that they can be mixed into any shades. Ιn black colour.

The Fabriano 5 paper is mould made of a valuable mixture of cotton (50%) and accurately sected raw material. The absence of acid guarantees the inalterability over time of the paper.
