ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Empire Inks Blackwash Set
Designed for artists working in expressive black and grey, Empire Inks Blackwash Set is a four-shade system of black dilutions with a formulation that contains no added white pigment. This delivers real depth and a warm, lively grey scale that stays sophisticated after healing, ideal for dark art and illustrative work where high contrast and precise value control matter.
An ultra-fine pigment base supports smooth insertion and clean blends, while standardized batching with precision dosing promotes bottle-to-bottle consistency. The set includes Xtra Light, Light, Medium, and Dark in 2 oz and 4 oz sizes, made for studio workflows. It’s 100% vegan and produced in Wisconsin, USA.
Beyond the specs, Empire Inks Blackwash Set stands out for stable healed results and a balanced black tone that keeps edges readable without sacrificing richness over time. It’s a trusted choice for black and grey specialists who expect steady flow, clean transitions, and an elegant finish.
Within Empire’s grayscale families, Blackwash is formulated without white to preserve an organic feel and a subtly warm cast. Whitewash blends a measured amount of white into each dilution for more deliberate values and a semi-opaque look that goes in like a graywash but heals milkier and cooler. Graywash is the classic no-white system that heals in cooler, slightly bluish tones, providing strong contrast against warm skin tones with reliable consistency across batches.
