These modifiers are for use with Akua Liquid Pigments&nbsp;and/or Akua Intaglio inks. Refer to the specific instructions detailed below.


**Kolor Blending Medium - Blending Medium, 118 ml**  - For use with Akua Liquid Pigments or Akua Intaglio inks. Use blending medium to thin the ink for brushwork, wash effects or use as a resist for viscosity monotype. This clear liquid cleans up with water.


**8 oz jar**  - This ready-to-use platemaking gel delivers fine, sharp detail and a uniquely textured surface that yields rich, velvety areas of color. Use this consistent, reliable medium to create collagraph printmaking plates. It's great with Akua Intaglio Inks and works in a range of applications for many creative possibilities.


**Kolor Extender - Extender, 118 ml**  - Use Extender to thin Akua Liquid Pigments only (not recommended for Akua Intaglio inks). Medium amber in color, Extender has a liquid consistency and cleans up easily with water.


**Oil Converter, 236 ml**  - Adds depth and thickens Akua Intaglio ink. Clear/white in color with a very stiff consistency, it cleans up with liquid dish soap followed by water.


**Kolor Retarder - Retarder, 118 ml**  - Retarder serves two purposes: it acts as a release agent for printing on dry paper and retards the Akua Liquid Pigments from drying on the monotype plate, therefore extending the working time. Use with Akua Liquid Pigments only (not necessary with Akua Intaglio inks). This clear liquid retarder cleans up easily with water.


**Kolor Tack Thickener - Tack Thickener, 118 ml**  - This modifier thickens and deepens Akua Liquid Pigments colors. It can be used for creating denser Akua Liquid Pigment roll-ups onto monotype plates. It has a thick consistency, medium amber color, and cleans up with soapy water.


**Transparent Base, 236 ml**  - Transparent Base is Akua Intaglio ink without the pigment. It can be used with both Akua Liquid Pigments and Akua Intaglio inks. Adding Akua Liquid Pigments to Transparent Base will thicken the Liquid Pigments and create new intaglio or relief colors. When added to Intaglio ink, this base will increase the ink's transparency. It has a thick consistency and light amber color, and cleans up with liquid dish soap followed by water.

These exceptionally rich,  non-toxic,  water-based inks work great for all types of monotype techniques. The unique  slow-drying  formula allows plenty of time to create an image on the plate.   Because Akua stays wet on the plate, there's no need to soak paper before printing. Clean, brilliant, lightfast colors are exceptionally strong yet transparent &mdash; no chalk, fillers, or polymers are added.   Use Akua&nbsp;modifers to adjust sheen, thickness, and transparency.  Akua Liquid Pigment&nbsp; cleans up fast and easy with water. They can also be used for Japanese woodcut and drawing on paper. Inks come in  4 oz   (118 ml)  containers.

Akua Wiping Fabric is ideal for wiping excess ink from the surface of an intaglio plate. Made from sturdy polyester fabric, it's  long-lasting  and  lint-free .   Akua Wiping Fabric is less absorbent, smoother, and softer than traditional tarlatan. As a result, plates print with highly saturated color and smooth solids, without streaking.   This fabric has a  &quot;paper-like&quot;  quality that helps eliminate the extra work of a final paper wipe or hand wipe on the plate. Akua ink never dries or hardens on it, so the same piece can be reused hundreds of times.
