Nontoxic Etching Materials

Environmentally Safe Intaglio Plates, Films, and Ink:
New technology in photopolymer materials have yielded 3 exciting products for printmakers which can be used for photo-generated imagery, computer-generated imagery, photo copies or hand drawn/painted work. Images are created on films such as clear (Item 39010, 39011), matte mylar (Item 39020, 39021) or Artex (Item 39040) and developed using a U. V. light source. A new nontoxic intaglio ink now completes a total safe etching system!

Z*Acryl Photopolymer Film:

Ideal for incorporating photographic, hand-drawn and digitally manipulated imagery. Ours is the thinnest gauge photopolymer available for photo printmaking. The thinner film has a higher resolution capability and allows for a proportionately greater percentage of the image area to develop completely down to the substrate (and thus to be etched). So while the plates may be printed in the same non-etched fashion as with ImagOn(TM), plates with Z*Acryl Photopolymer film can be etched, relaminated and exposed, and/or reworked to a far greater degree. 24" x 15 ft. roll (30 square feet)


Z*Acryl Photopolymer Film (24" x 15' Roll)
