INK IN RESEARCH
During my five month internship at GWA (Grafische Werkplaats Amsterdam), I started a research into Press Ink or drukinkt. Which is used for old anologe printing presses. It was one of the ways we used to make and print books. Very tedious work, but worth the results!
The ink I used in my project had different ways of reacting to paper, light, cold and warm weather. Different papers brought out different colors or lack of colors in the ink. I tested many kinds of paper.
Layering ink in different order also had an impact on the outcome.
