Description Made in France, every colour of Charbonnel Etching Ink is highly pigmented, with a linseed oil binder, delivering excellent covering power even after dilution. These inks can be cleaned up with oil or a solvent. Like oil paints, Charbonnel inks absorb oxygen to dry, therefore, depending on the colour, the drying time is between 2 and 3 weeks.
