Gamblin Burnt Plate Oil #2 8oz
Gamblin Burnt Plate Oil #2 8oz is a professional printmaking medium formulated to modify the body and tack of oil based etching and relief inks. Burnt Plate Oil #2 has a medium viscosity, thicker than #000 and #00, making it ideal for increasing ink stiffness and improving plate tone control. It enhances ink handling, sharpens detail and allows for more controlled wiping, especially in intaglio processes. The 8oz size is well suited for print studios and artists who want precise control over ink consistency and print quality.
How to Use
Modify ink body
Mix a small amount of Gamblin Burnt Plate Oil #2 8oz into your printmaking ink using a palette knife. Adjust gradually until you achieve the desired stiffness and tack.
Control wiping and plate tone
Use to create cleaner highlights and more controlled wiping in etching, engraving and other intaglio techniques.
Adjust ink performance
Combine with other burnt plate oils to fine tune viscosity and achieve specific handling characteristics for your press and paper choice.
Test before printing
Always test your modified ink on a proof print before running an edition to ensure the consistency and wiping behaviour meet your expectations.
Tip
Add in small increments, as a little Burnt Plate Oil goes a long way in changing ink viscosity and tack.

Burnt Plate Oils are used to lower the viscosity of the ink. Burnt Plate Oil should be added to inks sparingly, as the detail of a print may be lost if the ink becomes too fluid. Burnt Plate Oil #2 has a high tack and is the primary oil binder for Gamblin Etching Inks.
