The Spellbinders Desert Sunset BetterPress Ink Mini Set (BPI-013) is a warm, atmospheric colour collection designed by Ranger Ink for the BetterPress Letterpress System. These specialised oil-based dye inks feature a unique viscosity that prevents beading on metal plates, ensuring that your debossed designs are crisp, saturated, and professional. This smart palette is perfect for creating sunset gradients, autumnal florals, or earthy, modern stationery.
What’s Inside the Desert Sunset Set:
This set features four rich, warm tones inspired by high-desert landscapes:
Prickly Pear: A muted, sophisticated olive-gold green.
Adobe: A warm, clay-toned terracotta orange.
Wildflower: A deep, dusty mauve-purple.
Canyon: A rich, reddish-burnt brown.
Key Features:
Artisan Letterpress Quality: Engineered specifically for press plates. The ink clings to the plate surface to provide smooth coverage, capturing even the most microscopic details of your BetterPress designs.
Waterproof & Archival: Once the ink is dry on your cotton cardstock, it is permanent. This is smart for mixed-media artists, as you can watercolour or ink-blend directly over your pressed image without any smearing or bleeding.
Raised Felt Pads: Each 1.25" x 1.75" mini pad has a raised surface. This allow you to "tap" ink onto specific areas of a plate (spot inking) or cover large background plates without the plastic housing of the pad interfering.
Sophisticated Tonal Blending: These four colours are designed to work in harmony. You can easily create an ombre "sunset" effect by applying Adobe and Canyon to the same plate for a seamless, professional gradient.
Versatile on All Cotton Shades: While vibrant on Porcelain, these earthy tones look particularly stunning and organic on cream and grey card panels.
