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 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.

This new-generation acid resist has been specially designed as part of the acrylic-resist etching system. The lines and marks which can be generated by using the Lascaux Hard resist are comparable to those offered by traditional hard grounds. It is painted on the plate in a thin even layer which when dry can be drawn into with etching tools. As the waxy resist allows free movement of the etching needle, delicate line drawings can be made. The resist may be used in its clear form or coloured after application. Broader open marks can also be created in the layer of resist. Lascaux Hard resist is water-soluble, ready to use, nontoxic and suitable for use on copper, brass, zinc, steel and aluminium. Plates should be correctly prepared, whether unbitten or previously etched (e.g. aquatint, deep open bite). The resist is highly acid resistant and durable. It is compatible with the other Lascaux resists and photopolymer resists such as Photec. Lascaux Hard resist may also be used to create a variety of effects on collagraph plates

This new-generation acid resist has been specially designed as part of the acrylic-resist etching system. The lines, marks and textures which can be generated by using this resist in its soft state are comparable to those offered by traditional soft grounds (soft drawn marks and collage textures). Lascaux Soft resist is water-soluble, ready to use, nontoxic and suitable for use on copper, brass, zinc, steel and aluminium. This slow drying resist is designed to offset easily, allowing a range of image-making methods to be explored. When the layer of resist is dry it may be drawn into with a range of etching tools or stopped-out. It is compatible with the other Lascaux resists and photopolymer resists such as Photec.

This Junior Double Rubber Etching Tool has a thick rubber coating for extra comfort and cushioning when cutting. The two tips are made of hard steel and have a hand polished finish.
