RGM Student Lino Tools have sharpened hardened steel blades that allow a precise lino-cutting experience. The handles are made from shock-resistant cellulose acetate that fit comfortably in the hand, allowing you to maintain dexterity during carving and ensuring your safety while using the tool.

The total length of each lino tool is 12.5cm and the range consists of V and U shape cutters, several chisel tools, and a useful point tool.

This odorless and water soluble lino print color is easy to use an offers an excellent introduction to lino printing. The selected colors offer even printing results when used directly from the tube or mixed with each other, and are suitable for educational purposes as a result of the color properties and the good value for money. The color palette can be expanded extensively by mixing the colors.

All colors can be mixed and combined with the Schmincke aqua lino print colors, as well as with aqua Lino mediums from the professional range.

Pfeil are 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. The palm-handles are made of hardwood from ecologically managed Swiss forests.

Full bolster and square tang for optimal stability. The internal steel ferrule under the bolster prevents the handle from splitting. Each tool is hardened to the edge of the bevel. Blades are electronically hardened to exacting tolerances.

The handles of these tools are made of mango wood and each handle has a 12mm diameter. The ends are made of steel which has been polished hand. The etching tools in this set come in a wooden box with a chamois for cleaning.

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.

Burnishers are used to flatten a section of a metal plate in order to remove engraved or etched patterns and lines. This 'erases' the marks on this area. This ball-burnisher is designed to be used for detailed work. If you wish to flatten an extensive area, you would be better off using a straight burnisher.This tool is made of high carbon tool steel and is manufactured by EC Lyons.

This innovative range of oil-based inks can be washed away with liquid soap and water, without the need for harmful and often more expensive solvents. Ideal for printmakers interested in a safe and non-toxic alternative. Caligo 'safe wash' inks are available for both relief and intaglio printing. Contains a small percentage of driers (less than 1%).Caligo Safe Wash Relief Inks are suitable for all types of relief printing, for example, linocut, woodcut, wood engraving, photopolymer and letterpress. Safe Wash Inks are oil-based, this means you can still use many of the modifiers used with traditional inks. For example you can use Magnesium Carbonate / Talc, Cobalt / Manganese Driers, or Caligo Wiping Compound / Tack Reducer etc. We also stock Caligo Safe Wash Oil - a washable oil that you can add to any ink from the Safe Wash range when you need to thin your ink a little.

This print medium by Schmincke is made from a mixture of stand oil, linseed oil and dammar resin. Designed for use with Mussini Oils, it will make oil and resin-oil colors suitable for relief or intaglio printmaking. It should be added to the oil color to a ratio of 1:1 and mixed in thoroughly.

Please make sure to store this print medium in a cool, dry place. Close immediately after use. Clean tools and plates immediately after use with turpentine or a suitable substitute.

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.

The water-based, high-quality aqua-Linoprint colours contain natural binders such as gum Arabic as well as organic/inorganic pigments. They are easy to apply due to optimum open-times and result in even, sharp prints with fast drying times (wipe-resistant after approx. 15 minutes).

All colours offer maximum light fastness (4 and 5 stars) and an excellent intensity (especially black). The formulation for the colours in tubes and jars is the same. Due to its fluid consistency all aqua-Linoprint colours can easily be applied to different surfaces such as paper, felt, cardboard and suitable also for wood engraving and printing with various materials.

The smooth colours are of pleasant odour and can be overprinted with other colours. They are intermixable, ready to use and can be diluted with water.

Traditionally used to stiffen ink, Magnesium Carbonate can reduce the gloss level of ink and when added to ink it becomes transparent - there will be no alteration of colour of the ink. It is recommended that it is added in small amounts at a time - little is needed to add body to an ink. Magnesium Carbonate can be used with both Etching and Relief Inks. Mix well and keep away from excessive heat. 

Twisted steel double-ended dry point scribe, used for adding detail or tone to metal plates for intaglio printmaking processes. The line is created as the dry point or needle is dragged or drawn over the plate.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.
Please note, the tool is designed to be resharpened periodically.
Made of high carbon tool steel.

These grey sheets / blocks of lino are especially made for "linocut" relief printmaking. They are 3.2mm thick, have a fabric backing, and are available in a range of sizes and packs.The surface of the lino is cut away using special lino cutters or a knife to form the basis of the lino print. The block is inked up with a roller (known as a brayer) and this creates a positive image when printed onto paper or fabric. The printing process can be done by hand or with a press. You can use water-based lino ink, oil-based lino ink, or a block printing medium mixed with paint.Please note: sizes can vary slightly as these are cut to size in-house.

Lascaux Stop-out resist has been specially designed as part of the acrylic-resist etching system. This coloured resist is fluid and can be easily painted onto plates to create images, make corrections to plates or used for stopping-out. It can be drawn into with etching tools when dry. Lascaux Stop-out resist is water-soluble, ready to use, non-toxic and suitable for use on copper, brass, zinc, steel and aluminium. The resist is highly acid-resistant and durable on unbitten or previously etched plates (e.g. aquatint, deep open bite). It is compatible with the other Lascaux resists and photopolymer resists such as Photec. Lascaux Stop-out resist may also be used to create a variety of effects on collagraph plates.

This combination tool is designed to be used in intaglio printmaking processes. Both tools will reduce the ability of an area of a plate to hold ink.One end is a blunt burnishing tool, used for smoothing the face of the metal plate in order to soften engraved lines and remove burrs. The convex stem of the tool, just below the tip (rather than the tip itself) is used for this purpose, in a polishing motion. The other tool is a scraper, used to lower the plate surface and scrape away burrs.
