Portland Litho Black is an artist-grade lithography color. Embracing how Gamblin makes all their inks, this ink is focused on high-quality oil and a high pigment load. Its body greatly differs from process black inks because Gamblin knows printing by hand is slow and gentle and demands a real, rich black. Gamblin strives for simplicity in formulating their materials and finding the perfect balance between the appropriate pigments and carefully-chosen oils.  As a result, their ink will feel differently than commercial inks out of the can. Portland Litho Black has been used in editions on both plate and stone, and we are excited to include it among our growing oil-based ink collection.
