Send Message: To this poster

Increasing layers of oil based ink extends drying time a lot. A few drops of
cobalt drier helps enormously. Add, mix well and print. You need to clean up
right away or the ink will dry on your brayer and mixing tools as well.
DON'T use a lot, just a couple of drops will do the trick.

When it's quite dry to the touch it's dry enough to ship.

Hi,

What is the minimum amount of drying time that you would consider an oil
based print would be shippable? I

Someone gave me a mushroom brush (used for cleaning the fungi without having
to use water). It has very soft "bristles", which are really just an
extension of the plastic handle. It looks like a little shoe brush. Like
Barbara M, I scrub the heck out of the block, then examine it closely with
my magnifier. If there are any funny edges that are not quite clean, I carve
them and brush again. I've never had a splinter issue, so it works well.
Another version of the brush is used to get cornsilk off of kernels.
Probably a fingernail brush would work, too.

Send Message: To this poster

Greetings Bareners,
I have just arrived back from Germany and opened the Exchange 48 pack of prints based on the theme of Mythology.
It may seem belated, but many thanks to Sharen who co-ordinated the exchange,kept us all on target and designed a fine booklet of the various techniques and legends.
The prints are superb and I hope to exhibit them at workshops next year in England and Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
I thought you may be interested in my hyperlink of two photos taken during a meeting with a fellow Barener in Cambridge, UK on Friday of Carol (and Bill) Lyons,New York, USA and Regina and myself of Lincoln, UK : confirming, if at all necessary, the International nature of the Baren organisation.

Thanks Clive,

I guess what I am wondering, when I touch the print, the ink still has a bit
of tack to it, but does not come off on my finger, so I am wondering - if
the ink does not come off onto my finger tip, but if I place a layer of
glassine on it and sandwich the print between two boards such as MDF to
ship, tape up the edges of the MDF - if the ink might rub off onto the
glassine during shipping even though dry to the touch but still slightly
tacky.

Some of the prints that are a week old or more are dry to the touch but if I
rub the ink fairly hard on a test print or try to smear it onto the white
border (these are just experimental prints not something I would ship) the
ink will still smear a bit. I guess I am wondering how dry is dry.

Hello,

Can anyone tell if the ink was oil or waterbased?
I am guessing it has to be oil based for litho?

oil based ink but no solvents are required everything can be cleaned
up using vegetable oil. Here is a link to her handbook.
