Plates and Prep

Intaglio plates come in many guises and for etching we have polished copper and zinc, as well as unpolished economy zinc. Tools and materials for cutting and preparing the etching plates are to be found in this section, as well as some advice on the subject. These plates are also for non-etch intaglio techniques with the copper recommended for engraving and mezzotint.

You will also find our transparent printing plates for collagraph, monoprint and drypoint.
