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.

Lawrence Student Quality Rollers offer an economical option, especially if you would still like to make use of the 25-30 shore durethane. Both the student rubber and the student durathene are 38mm in diameter, good for smaller projects or detail, and both are lighter in weight than the artist quality rollers.

With it's translucent emerald green appearance, durathene is ultra smooth and soft and is made from a new generation of elastomer. The student quality rubber rollers are harder than the artist quality, at 65-70 shore and perfect for beginners or student classes. Frames are made from wood and metal components and are assembled in the UK.

Cranfield Traditional Etching Inks are handcrafted, highly pigmented and include a vast range of colours giving the printmaker a wide choice whether they want to mix their own colours or not. Cranfield Traditional Etching Ink can be used for engraving, etching, drypoint, mezzotint and aquatint printmaking techniques.

Fine woven wool flannel blanket 2.4mm/1/16thin thick. The woven blanket is more durable and will hold it's shape for longer than a compressed felt. The fronting blanket is designed to lie next to the paper when printing and will soak up water and size from the paper. To protect your blanket please ensure you bevel your metal plates if they are 1mm or thicker. Regular cold/delicate wash with a wool detergent will ensure years of use.

Jackson's Polished Copper Etching Plate, made with 0.9mm polished copper plate for etching. The polished surface is protected with a plastic film so simply requires degreasing before applying ground.The back of the plate will require the application of an acid resistant stop out. Copper is a harder metal than zinc and plates will withstand more printing. It is also idealy suited to non-etching intaglio techniques such as drypoint and engraving and mezzotint.

Lawrence Carborundum Grit is available in grades from fine to coarse, with 60 being the coarsest and 220 the finest. Used for the creation of texture and deep areas of tone on collagraph plates of all types. Can be attached with waterproof PVA, mixed into acrylic mediums to paint onto the plate directly, or combined with other materials on the plate.

World renowned Swiss made wood carving tools from Pfeil. All tools are forged from steel that is manufactured especially for them, and this special steel guarantees excellent elasticity and the best edge retention with extreme hardness.

The alloyed steel blade has a square tang which sits in an innovative octangonal shaped handle, increasing stability and control. These tools have been sharpened and ground off so they are ready for use. Much consideration is given to the impact of manufacture on the environment. The handles are made from native wood and are treated with solvent free vegetable oil.

High-quality Swiss made carving tools suitable for either lino or wood cutting. Each tool is made from chrome vanadium steel, precisely forged, sharpened and polished for excellent results. Palm-handles are made of hardwood from ecologically managed Swiss forests. Full bolster and square tang for optimal stability. Internal steel ferrule under bolster prevents handle from splitting. Tools are hardened to edge of bevel. Blades electronically hardened to exacting tolerances.70mm blade length, 125mm overall length. Blade size - 4mm.pdf=pfeil-19.pdf More Information

Very dark and opaque finish. For use with etching plates, this varnish is appropriate for backing the plate as well as stopping out (i. e concealing) areas of the plate where the etching process is not required.

Pfeil B series lino and block cutters are excellent quality, with a wider range of V and U sweeps for larger mark making and faster clearing. Each tool is made from chrome vanadium steel, precisely forged, sharpened and polished for excellent results. Palm-handles are made of hardwood from ecologically managed Swiss forests.

Full bolster and square tang for optimal stability. Internal steel ferrule under bolster prevents handle from splitting. Tools are hardened to edge of bevel.

This tool is used to prepare metal plates for mezzotints. By repeatedly working the tool over the surface of the plate in a rocking motion, the printmaker can create a smooth carpet of burrs, which will hold ink and show up as a dark area when the plate is printed. This rough surface can then be smoothed with a scraper or burnisher, which will lighten the print in those areas.EC Lyons rockers are known world wide as the finest mezzotint rockers available. Lyons rockers have handles of stained birch and a tool surface of high carbon tool steel. The density of teeth for a rocker is measured in LPI or 'tooth count', a measure of the number of lines per inch on the cutting face of the tool. This is a fine gauge rocker with a 2.5 inch blade and a tooth count of 65.Please take care when using this tool near the edge of your plates, as unless you have bevelled the edge of the plate it is possible that the tool may slip off or be damaged by the sharp edge.

E.C. Lyons Roulettes are designed to be used in intaglio printmaking processes. When the rotating drum at the head of the tool is pushed over the plate, it stipples the surface with dots or lines. These small impressions will hold ink and appear darker in the finished print.The density of lines or dots an engraving roulette will produce is expressed in its DPI rating. A higher DPI indicates the lines or dots made by a roulette as it passes over the face of the plate are closer together. This is a fine gauge line roulette of 100 DPI.

Akua Intaglio Ink was originally formulated for intaglio printmaking, however this ink can also be applied with a brayer for relief printmaking, monotype, and collagraphs; and it will print from any plastic, wood, linoleum or metal plate. It is a soy based ink which is made with high quality lightfast pigments. The inks have a thick consistency with minimal water content and contain no toxic driers - this means a longer working time. The ink cleans up easily with a dry rag followed by soap and water. Inexpensive liquid dish detergent can be used. Never use toxic solvents. Prints can be re-soaked immediately after printing if handled carefully. Once the print is dry, Akua Intaglio is permanent. Ink will never skin or harden in the jar or the ink slab, meaning minimal ink is wasted. Wiping the plate with Akua Intaglio is easier than wiping oil-based ink, meaning you need to spend less time cleaning up.
