Reviews

A monotype is a print created by transferring to paper an image that has been painted on a plate made of metal, glass, plexiglas, etc. The process of transfer is done by either hand rubbing or using an etching or lithography press. Createx colors are specifically designed for making monotypes.

Unlike oil-based inks, Createx water-based colors can dry before printing. Dampened paper will rewet the color and transfer the image. This property of Createx colors offers the ability to ink several plates at once, then transfer the image later.

Colors are packaged in 8 oz (.24 L) bottles. Createx Monotype Base comes in a 32 oz (.95 L) bottle. All colors are water-based, non-toxic, and permanent.

Pro Set — This set of 12 contains 4 oz bottles of White, Black, Primary Red, Primary Blue, Orange, Phthalo Blue, Cobalt Blue, Violet, Phthalo Green, Raw Sienna, Burnt Umber, and Monotype Base.

Sampler Set — This set of 8 colors contains 4 oz bottles of: White, Black, Primary Red, Primary Yellow, Phthalo Blue, Violet, Phthalo Green, and Monotype Base.

Color Chart Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

Monotype printing works so much better with this product

By Karted

Comments about Createx Monotype Colors:

We used this product creating mono-prints with middle school children from Baltimore City. It worked so much better than block printing ink, tempera or acrylics and the students got great results.

Frustrating

from Honesdale, Pa.

Comments about Createx Monotype Colors:

I tried varying the dampness of the paper but it still stuck to the inked plate. Then I tried dry paper and spraying the ink. That worked.

I was happy to find the 4 ounce size bottles for a six year old's little hands.
She loves making mono-prints and this makes her more independent.

Great for gelatin printing

By judy 10 clay

from Portland, OR

Comments about Createx Monotype Colors:

The consistency of the ink is perfect for making monotypes using the block of gelatin as the plate. I'm pleased with the subtle variations I can get in color and texture.
