The Roll-Up Black is a non-drying black lithographic ink, with very low viscosity. It is used to provide a temporary protection to lithographic stones in storage between editions. Cranfield’s Roll-Up Black can be used without modification from the tin. It has a greasy, highly adhesive nature and is formulated to be resistant to erosion by creating a waxy, greasy barrier that helps the protect the image on the stone. As it is a non-drying ink, remaining wet and pliable, it can easily be removed with solvent when needed. Roll-Up Black is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the image throughout the lithographic process, ensuring that the final print accurately reflects the artist’s original drawing.
