Tonal Printmaking without PhotographyTrue-Grain is a unique high
quality textured polyester drafting film which holds tone. If is a
technologicalbreakthrough in the creation of hand-drawn prints,
since its unique textured surface and very high level of
transparency allows the reproduction of very subtle washes and
marks without the intermediate stage ofphotography or laser
scanning. By drawing directly on True-Grain a wide range of drawing
materials may be faithfully reproduced through photo-screen print,
lithography and etching. Most drafting films are non-textured and
semi-opaque and only capable of reproducing flat, solid marks drawn
with opaque photographic drawing materials. It is the unique
textured surface of True-Grain that holds the tone. As the wash
gradually dries, deep pits in the film catch the tiny particles of
pigment suspended within the wash, producing the halftones for
transfer to photo-sensitive screens and plates. Similarly the
surface grain exerts an influence on marks drawn with pencil,
charcoals and crayon. The broad tonal range now possible with
True-Grain delivers a fully resolved drawing using far fewer
colours than was required previously. The High Level of
TransparencyFor the successful transfer of subtle tonal information
to the stencil material, the drawing support must be as transparent
as possible to create both a strong stencil and the minimum amount
of resistance to ultra violet light on short exposures. Since
TrueGrain has a very high level of transparency, the minimum point
of stencil hardening is reached with substantially shorter exposure
times. These shorter exposure times also ensure the resolution of
