Gamblin Tack Reducer 150ml
Gamblin Tack Reducer 150 ml is a specialised printmaking medium used to reduce the tack and stiffness of oil based printing inks. It helps improve ink handling, allowing the ink to transfer more smoothly from plate to paper while maintaining strong colour and clarity. This medium is especially useful when working with delicate papers or when a softer ink consistency is required. The 150 ml size is ideal for print studios and artists who want greater control over ink behaviour and printing results.
How to Use
Mix with printmaking ink
Add a small amount of Gamblin Tack Reducer 150 ml to your ink on the palette or slab and mix thoroughly using a palette knife.
Adjust ink consistency
Gradually increase the amount until the ink reaches the desired softness and tack for your printing process.
Printing
Use the adjusted ink for relief or intaglio printing where smoother ink transfer and easier printing pressure are needed.
Tip
Add in small amounts at a time, as too much tack reducer can make ink too loose and affect print clarity.
