For printmakers interested in non-toxic printmaking, Caligo are pleased to offer a new and innovative range of oil-based inks that can be washed away with liquid soap and water, without the need for harmful and often more expensive solvents. They call these inks ‘safe wash’ and they are available for both relief and intaglio printing.Caligo Safe Wash Etching inks are suitable for all types of intaglio printing, for example, etching, aquatint, line engraving etc.This range does not contain any driers. If you want faster drying rates, you can add a small amount of cobalt or manganese driers.

Lawrence Citric Acid is used to create an effective etchant for copper and brass. Citric acid will improve the etching potential of ferric as well as dissolving the sediment, enhancing its performance and producing a precise etch. The advantage of using it over straight ferric is that it can be used in flat trays with the plate face up, as well as in vertical tanks.

Ensure appropriate protective clothing is worn to avoid inhalation and contact with skin and eyes.

Lawrence 1.2mm Copper Plate for etching and engraving is highly polished on one side. The polished surface is protected by a plastic film.

The plate is unbacked and will require the application of an acid-resistant stop-out if etching. As well as etching, copper is also suited to non-etch intaglio techniques such as drypoint, engraving, and mezzotint due to its inherent hardness.

Please allow 2mm tolerance on sizes described.

Anti-Skinning Spray, sometimes referred to as anti-drying spray is an anti-oxidant solution in a spray can. It can be sprayed onto the inking roller, ink slab, tools, and in ink tins to prevent the ink from drying out while you take a break. Recommended for use with traditional oil-based inks, Anti-Skinning Spray can be used for water mixable oil-based inks so long as the inks have no water content, as in Cranfield Traditional Inks. Testing therefore is always advised. Anti-Skinning Spray will not have any effect on the ink colour.
