Made with qualitatively high-level raw material (60% Cotton). Rosaspina is a mould made paperboard and suitable for all printmaking techniques (etching, lithography and silk-screening). The watermark runs parallel to the two larger sides of the sheet and reproduces the Fabriano trademark and logo. The two larger sides are deckled.

Suitable for all printmaking techniques, Fabriano Unica originates from the many centuries of experience gained by the Fabriano paper mills and developed in collaboration with a group of artists from the Opificio della Rosa, an international centre dedicated to the awareness and spread of traditional and innovative methods of printmaking. Fourdrinier made, 50% cotton, acid free paper. Flexible and resistant. Also suitable for drawing mediums such as graphite, charcoal and pencil.

Somerset is a world leading traditional printmaking paper. Mould made from 100% cotton to high archival standards.The surface has a gentle texture, soft and good-tempered nature, and is a strong and stable enough sheet to ensure excellent printing. It remains flat after printing and offers durability and long life to finished editions of work.All materials are screened in the mill to ensure minimal environmental effect. No hazardous chemicals are released into the water ways. Pulps are sourced from sustainable sources (no rainforests are harmed in making the papers), and the cotton linters are a by-product from the textile industry.

Cotton content papers have a natural lasting brightness, crisp purity, strength and elegance. During the paper making process, the long cotton fibers bond and securely intertwine creating paper with exceptional strength for the most demanding of printing techniques. Your project will benefit from using this elegant, true felt finished, cotton enhanced paper that is luxurious to the touch. Printing/Handling Tips: Paper should be allowed to acclimate to pressroom conditions of 70° – 75° F with 50% relative humidity. Twenty-four hours is recommended and slightly longer during cold weather. Due to the bulk of the 111# Cover it may require special handling. Small lifts are recommended. Make sure the cutting blade is sharp. Conventional low-tack inks are recommended. The use of an IR oven often helps drying time. Consult with your ink manufacturer for varnish or aqueous coating applications. Always score before folding with multiple folds, the primary fold should be in the grain direction. Applications: Greeting cards, business cards, book covers, inserts, shopping bags, menus, luxury packaging, folders, calendars, prestige publications, brochures, envelopes, and direct mail advertising

For maintaining inside and outside of gouges and vee tools, the Flexcut SlipStrop consists of a complex moulding with two areas of leather and a bar of a specially developed honing compound (abrasive). The particular part of the moulding most suited to the chosen tool is rubbed crayon-like with compound and the tool stropped. A mirror finish can be quickly achieved and the resulting razor edge can be maintained by repeating the process many times before resharpening is required. Use for gouges and vee tools both inside and outside.pdf=carving_info_flexcut.pdf Sharpening your tools with Flexcut SlipStrop.youtube=QgrczFY0epI

This is a mini sample pad of the full sized Yupo Translucent Watercolour paper pad. It contains 10 sheets of 153gsm translucent paper that measure 9.5 x 6.3cm.Yupo translucent sheets will help you see colour from a new perspective, the slick papers can be a great starting point for a variety of media. They are designed for backlit applications and combine strength with excellent light diffusion. Yupo is a non-porous, acid free and pH neutral, synthetic paper which is machine made in the US from 100% polypropylene. It is completely waterproof, stain-proof and has become a unique and intriguing alternative to traditional art papers due to its strength and lifting properties. The super smooth surface allows you to build up nuances and patterns that would normally be impossible to achieve on traditional watercolour and drawing paper. Because it can be wiped clean you have the option to return to specific areas and redo them until they meet your standards, or to build up layers of paint using a similar technique to the one used with oil painting. Yupo is made from heated polypropylene pellets which are then extruded to form the base and surface layers of the paper, These layers are stretched to create a dimensionally storable and biaxial-orientated substrate. This process means that Yupo paper is exceptionally strong, opaque and has an incredibly smooth surface. This paper easily resists tearing or buckling meaning there is no need to stretch or treat in any way before you start work. Yupo has an extra smooth surface and can be used with a combination of media, including watercolours, alcohol ink, acrylic paint, monotype, offset printing, debossing oil pastel, graphite and silkscreen.As an especially durable synthetic, Yupo normally enters the waste stream at a far slower rate than conventional papers. Since it is a polypropylene (PP) plastic film, it is fully recyclable and will remain inert in any approved landfill. If safely incinerated in a modern incinerator with an atmosphere of excess oxygen, it will yield only water, carbon dioxide, and ash. "Yupo is very different to normal watercolour paper(But still make sure not to get greasy fingerprints on it) it stays flat, which is a great bonus, the paint can go mad; which is fun and you can pretty much rinse a sheet under a cold tap and start again. Masking fluid doesn't bond to the surface, so make sure it's dry before you rinse anything away as water will creep slightly under the masking fluid. It's very different, it's fun to play with and well worth trying." When you have completed a piece remember to spray the surface of the Yupo paper with a matt clear varnish or finishing spray so that the work will remain stable.

Speedball’s Speedy-Carve Blocks are designed for relief printmaking. They have a soft, putty-like surface which is easier to cut than traditional linoleum, and are designed for use with lino-cutting tools. As they are flexible, Speedy-Carve Blocks can be used to print onto flat or curved surfaces.As in lino-cutting, the desired design is cut in reverse into the surface of the block with gouges or knives. Water-soluble or oil-based ink is then transferred to the raised, uncut areas of the block using a roller/brayer. The design can be printed onto paper or fabric, in a press or by hand. The blocks are Latex-free.Dimensions: 15x30.5 cmThickness: 0.6 cm

This heavyweight roller is perfectly smooth allowing for a greater quantity of ink to be held and in doing so also means a greater amount of coverage.  A wet roller can simply be turned over and the handle doubles as a stand for cleaner working. Made from a hand-ground concentric EPDM rubber surface, which means it is flexible yet resistant to weathering. The EDPM rubber is of medium hardness and gives excellent pickup and deposit of all types of ink. This tool is the choice for the artisan printmaker with good recovery to indentation, and resistance to common printing chemicals. Perfect for printmaking, wood engraving and woodcut.
