I was making some block prints and thought I would make some of them in color, and when I went to go put the color on, it smeared! I know, I know, I should have read the bottle more carefully, but I thought it meant water soluble(sp?) for clean up, you know, when it's still wet, and non water soluble when dry, like acrylics. I tried black acrylic, but it gums up too easily and isn't as nice and dark as the printing ink. Is there anything else I can do? I don't like the fact that even if I wanted to keep my print just black and white it would still 'run' if it got wet. Please advise, and if you know of anything, please let me know what and where to get it. The stores around here are limited at best and the catalogs I have now have the basic stuff only. (I am concerned with permanance.) Also, I have seen oil based print ink, but will this rot paper? How could I make the paper more rot proof? Sorry to ask so many questions within a question. LOL!!! Thanks! :)
