Does anyone know of any ink manufacturers that are making letterpress ink specifically for fine printing? I’ve read a few times that printers would reach out to ink manufacturers outside of the USA for ink. This is mostly people in the private press movement. Any thoughts?
As a letterpress printer from the 1960’s and still printing now, why worry about special ink. Litho ink is perfectly ok, bearing in mind that the litho process works with a thinner ink film and the colour was stronger to compensate. The only thing that might be necessary is to shorten the ink slightly for platen use on coated surfaces.
