The Spellbinders Nature Tones BetterPress Ink Mini Set (BPI-002) is a fundamental colour collection for the BetterPress Letterpress System. Unlike standard dye inks, these are specially formulated by Ranger Ink to be thick and opaque, ensuring they stay on the surface of the press plates without beading up. This results in crisp, professional-quality impressions that mimic traditional artisan letterpress.
What’s Inside the Nature Tones Set:
This palette is inspired by the outdoors and features four versatile, earthy colours:
Wild Berry: A rich, deep raspberry pink/purple.
French Blue: A classic, sophisticated medium blue.
Saffron: A warm, golden yellow.
Tawny Brown: A natural, versatile earthy brown.
Key Features:
Specially Formulated for BetterPress: These oil-based dye inks provide the precise viscosity needed for the BetterPress system. They ensure that even the finest lines of your press plates come out sharp and clear.
Archival & Permanent: Once dry, these inks are acid-free, permanent, and waterproof. This is smart for mixed-media artists, as it allows you to watercolour or ink-blend over your pressed designs without any smearing.
Raised Felt Surface: The 1.25" x 1.75" mini pads feature a raised felt surface, making it easy to tap the ink onto plates of any size without the edges of the plastic pad getting in the way.
Easy Cleanup: Although permanent on paper, the ink can be easily cleaned off your press plates using Ink Cleaner.
Eco-Friendly & Safe: Non-toxic and made in the USA.
