Real etching, with no acid anywhere near the room
Pack of 30 cardboard drypoint etching plates. No acid, no special tools. $16.60.
Traditional etching is not a school activity. It uses acid baths, metal plates and ventilation most art rooms do not have. Which means most students never touch etching at all, and go through school without meeting one of the great printmaking processes.
These plates are how you get around that. Scratch a line into the card, ink it, wipe the surface, print. Same drypoint principle - the ink sits in the incised line - with a nail, a skewer or an old pen instead of a burin, and no chemistry at all.
Cheaper means students can fail. Etching rewards the second and third attempt. At this price, a class can make three plates each and still be under budget.
It is a genuine intaglio process, not a substitute activity - the resulting print behaves like a drypoint because it is one.
What we do not know, and one thing that looks wrong
No plate size is published at all, which on a printmaking plate is the specification that matters most - it has to fit your press bed and your paper. We have asked.
Our price list says a pack of 30. The supplier's own image files say a pack of 50. That is a 40% difference in what you get for your money, so we have asked them which is right and we have listed the smaller number. If it arrives as 50, you are ahead. Ask us before you order if the count matters.
No barcode on our price list either, and we will not invent one.
