The Woodlands BetterPress Ink Mini Set (BPI-024) is a cozy, nature-inspired colour collection designed by Ranger Ink for the BetterPress Letterpress System. These specialised oil-based dye inks feature a smart high-viscosity formula that ensures they stay on the zinc plates without beading or running. This collection is the definitive palette for creating lush, forest-themed stationery, masculine cards, and autumn-inspired designs with professional letterpress depth.
What’s Inside the Woodlands Set:
This palette captures the deep, grounding tones of a dense forest with four rich shades:
Laurel: A soft, muted sage green.
Pine: A deep, classic evergreen.
Rustic: A warm, earthy reddish-brown (reminiscent of autumn leaves).
Spruce: A dark, cool-toned forest green with a hint of blue.
Key Features:
Professional "No-Bead" Formulation: Unlike standard water-based inks, this formula is engineered to provide opaque, even coverage on metal plates. It captures the finest details of intricate designs like the Butterfly Swirl or Dina Wakley’s organic sketches.
Permanent & Waterproof: Once dry on BetterPress Cotton Cardstock, the ink is archival and permanent. This allows you to watercolour, use Scribble Sticks, or apply ink-blending techniques over the debossed image without any smearing.
Raised Felt Mini Pads: Each 1.25" x 1.75" pad has a raised surface, allowing you to easily "tap" ink onto specific areas of a plate for selective inking or custom ombre effects.
Natural Texture: These colours are exceptionally striking on cream or grey card panels, enhancing the organic, woodsy feel of the palette.
Easy Clean-Up: Plates can be refreshed easily with Ink Cleaner, ensuring no stained residue is left on your zinc plates.
