Flash Oil is used to diminish the tack of etching inks. It is a clear liquid, not yellowing. It takes just a few drops to diminish tack. Printmakers who make viscosity prints prefer often flash oil compared with linseed oil. Contrary to many other additives this oil dries through evaporation, which reduces the risk of paper damage.

Ink with Flash oil added to it will return slowly to the original properties because the oil evaporates.
Can be used for all oil based inks.
