For this episode, we are getting the scoop on all things ink and we’re joined by someone we consider an expert on the subject: Charley Harden! Charley and his brother, Rick, have been mixing ink since 1987 and started their own business, Southern Ink, in 2001. They’ve been supplying a special ‘hybrid’ style of ink to letterpress printers since!
He reassures us that reflex blue ink does in fact get everywhere and beiges ARE the hardest to mix just right. Tune in to find out more about ink mixing, storage, additives and most importantly: why they include the beloved twizzlers in all of their orders.
Be sure to look through the mesmerizing ink mixing videos and the tips Charley & Rick have shared on Instagram @letterpressinks and visit their website to shop inks at southern-ink.com!
