Hello everyone,
Does anyone have any suggestions on printing on a C&P using lithography inks? I assume i will need to use some sort of drying additive. would magnesium carbonate work well with it?
thanks in advance

Well, I’d try the ink straight out of the can to see if that works first. I don’t know anything about magnesium carbonate; if I were concerned about drying, I would add a cobalt or a three-way drier. But my experience with litho inks is that they usually dry fast as is.
Best wishes, Brian
Lithographic inks are notoriously lacking in drier, but it is always a good idea to test the ink from the can first. Calcium carbonate will thicken the ink, not really make a big difference to the drying. I second the suggestion about cobalt and three-way drier, you also might consult the ink maker about recommended driers as some manufacturers will have a specific drier for the ink in question.

Thank you Brian and Paul, i will try cobalt and three-way drier.
