Printing inks can be made by mixing powdered pigments with copperplate oils. Pour a small quantity of oil into a well of dry pigment and grind with a glass muller until smooth. Oil is then added until the mixture has a consistency of double cream. pdf=SDS_Cornelissen_Copperplate_Ink_Oil.pdf Cornelissen Copperplate Ink Oil Safety Data Sheet.

This double-ended scribe can be used in etching or drypoint processes. It has a cork handle for comfort during use.If this tool is used to add detail or tone directly to the metal plate (a technique known as 'drypoint'), it will inscribe a line with a slight burr, which will print a blurred, indistinct line. This effect can be controlled by manipulating the angle at which the point meets the plate.This tool is made of high-carbon steel, and is designed to be resharpened periodically.
