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.

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.

For inking: Place one lip of the bench hook over the edge of your desk or table and roll ink out in preparation for inking up a plate or block. For cutting: Place one lip of the bench hook over the edge of your desk or table and set a linoleum or wood block up against the other lip and use the lip as a stop when carving and cutting.

The Lawrence Ball Bearing Baren has been created to bridge the gap between budget barens and the more expensive type while utilising the highly effective method of a printing face with ball bearings. Featuring 7mm stainless steel balls, the body itself is made from 3D-printed plastic with a domed handle to sit comfortably in your hand. The baren comes in two sizes 60mm or 90mm diameter, and can print at any size, although ideally the baren is most suited to smaller scale prints around A4 in size.

The Lawrence Ball Bearing Baren is a sturdy tool that will last you a long time. To look after it, you can rub some oil onto the ball bearings using a cloth or piece of leather from time to time. It can also be disassembled, and the 7mm stainless steel ball bearings can be replaced.

Well engineered portable presses from Italy with solid steel rollers and 3mm thick metal bed. Lifting up the top roller is for relief printing only, you will not be able to print anything but thinner intaglio plates on this press, optimally up to 1mm metal with a decent bevel on or thinner 0.8mm plates like our econimy zinc or transparent printing plates. The Fome presses work well for line etching, drypoint, monoprint and relief.It must be stressed that these small press will not print with the same pressure as a larger heavier studio press. If you have designed your prints with your plates, inks, paper using a large heavy press, you will not necessarily be able to reproduce them on these small presses. Putting too much pressure on the presses can damage them.Please Note: The manufacturer recommends attaching this press to a table so you can get enough leverage for proper printing function.SpecificationsWeight: 8.5 Kg Length: 25 cm Width: 31.5 cm Height: 17 cm Width of roller: 25.5 cm Diam. lower roller: 3.5 cm Diam. upper roller: 3.5 cm Metal plate: 26.8 x 42 x 0.3 cmMaximum board or lino thickness: 1.7cmFOME 3mm Felt Mats available here, which you will need to print your plates successfully.Read our series of blog posts about setting up and using the Fome School Etching Press.Other Fome Presses available here.

Wood engravers use Round Scorpers to create incisions on the surface of woodblocks. As woodblocks are inked with a roller, these incisions do not receive ink, and therefore show up white in the final print.This is a medium-fine Round Scorper (#53), used to draw thick, bold lines. Above a certain point, Round Scorpers have strait sides, which means that they will cut a line of a constant width if fully engaged in the wood. However, because the tip of the tool is shaped like a capital U, lines cut with it will have rounded ends.Scorpers are also useful when lightening areas of a print by stippling: repeatedly pecking at the woodblock with the tip of the tool, so that the surface bears a carpet of tiny incisions. Because of the U-shaped tip of this tool, it is perfect for creating round dots.This tool was made from high carbon tool steel in the United States by E.C. Lyons. It is supplied factory-sharp, but it has not been honed to a fine edge. Please note, engraving tools are known by different names in the U.K. and the United States. Round Scorpers are known as 'Round Gravers' in the U.S.A.

E.C. Lyons Roulettes are made in the US, and are recognised across the world as the finest roulettes available. Designed to be used in intaglio printmaking processes the rotating drum at the head of the tool will stipple the plate surface with dots or lines. These small impressions will hold ink and appear darker in the finished print. They can be used for mark making in their own right or for making corrections to areas of tone on the plate.

Oval shaped needle made of high carbon tool steel. and made to be resharpen. These etching needles are set in a wooden handle the steel shaft being oval in shape and chopped at an angle to give an oval profile. As you move the tool through the ground you can rotate the shaft and change the thickness of line. It can create lines that swell and contract.
