Mix

A drop of the first ink, add a couple of the second, finish with a drop of the third… The mixing kit can be used repeatedly, allowing you to experiment to your heart’s content.

 

Test

Some colours may appear lighter on paper than in the beaker. Repeat the mixing and testing steps, and place your order with us when you’re happy with the result.

 

You may like to bring along a colour sample or visual reference, such as a photograph, object or magazine clipping. We’ll be on hand to guide and assist you along the way.

② Preparation by staff

  • We’ll prepare your ink according to the nominated ratio, making subtle adjustments to match your order.
