Polished Copper Etching Plates
Special Order Item Please see below for details.
Jackson's Polished Copper Etching Plate, made with 0.9mm polished copper plate for etching.
The polished surface is protected with a plastic film so simply requires degreasing before applying ground. The back of the plate will require the application of an acid resistant stop out. Copper is a harder metal than zinc and plates will withstand more printing. It is also ideally suited to non-etching intaglio techniques such as drypoint and engraving and mezzotint.
Available in sizes 100x100mm, 100x125mm, 100x150mm, 125x125mm, 150x150mm, 150x250mm, 200x200mm, 200x250mm, 250x300mm, 300x400mm, 400x500mm, 500x500mm, 500x1000mm.
