{"product_id":"cranfield-print-fix-clear-gel","title":"Cranfield Print Fix Gel","description":"\u003cp\u003eCranfield’s Print Fix Clear Gel will help reduce the tack of your printmaking ink. Tack refers to the stickiness or adhesive quality of an ink. It is suitable for ‘pigment in oil’ based inks such as Cranfield’s \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/handprinted.co.uk\/collections\/inks\/products\/cranfield-traditional-etching-ink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTraditional\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/handprinted.co.uk\/collections\/inks\/products\/caligo-safe-wash-etching-inks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSafe Wash\u003c\/a\u003e etching and relief inks. Other oil-based inks may be suitable; however, Cranfield recommends the printmaker conduct a small trial to assess the effectiveness before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd 1-10% Print Fix Clear Gel to your ink and mix thoroughly. Once mixed, continue your printing process as normal. If the transfer to solid areas of colour is patchy, add more Print Fix Clear Gel. If the paper tears or splits when removing the block\/plate, add more Print Fix Gel. When printing multiple layers, add progressively more Print Fix Gel to each layer (if it doesn’t transfer well without it).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: reducing the tack can also allow more movement in alignment, so take greater care when registering and printing to maintain sharp edges\/lines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cranfield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58315302011261,"sku":"RCPFCG500","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0188\/6660\/2048\/files\/rcpfcg500.jpg?v=1782389883","url":"https:\/\/handprinted.co.uk\/products\/cranfield-print-fix-clear-gel","provider":"Handprinted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
