Specialist Crafts Easy Etch Starter Kit

If you're new to intaglio printing then "Easy Etch" is the perfect solution! It's a cost effective way of understanding the processes of etching without expensive plates. The etching is done on card which is easier to carve and will provide up to 10 prints from just one plate. Cut away shapes or inscribe lines into the card using a blade.

Coat finished work with a thin layer of French polish and leave to dry. Apply a light covering of etching ink, blending colours if required, then wipe off excess with scrim and print onto damp cartridge paper. Using a press creates better impressions but just using a clean printing roller on the back of the plate will transfer an image.

This kit includes: 25 pieces of heavy duty card, 5 assorted etching inks, 5 inking rollers, 2 metres of scrim, 32 pieces of designer cartridge paper, 15 pieces of couching cloth, 500ml Clean Up Oil, 25 pairs of protective gloves and an information sheet.
