🧼 Quick & Safe Lino Plate Cleaning 🧼

After printing with oil-based inks, I use a light spray of Zest-it Printmakers Cleaner or orange cleanerβ€”keeping it on the plate, not in the air. 🌬️

For water-washable inks, just use water and a drop of washing-up liquid. Spray, wipe, and you’re done! πŸ’§

I think my plates shelf looks so pretty! I’ve made soooo many plates over my lifetime as a printmaker, and each one is so precious to me. I love working with all metals, and plasma cutting is definitely up there in my top 10 favourite things to do, alongside spit bite and aquatint etching! Burnishin

Getting Grounded in Hard Ground Etching!

In this video, I’m prepping a metal plate with hard ground, ready to scratch, scribble, and experiment with every tool I can find! From fine crosshatching to bold, wavy lines, this plate will be a playground of textures for my printmaking book.

πŸ’‘ Printmaking Hack! Want to achieve the Perfect Printmakers Kiss? Here’s my process: I set the pressure on the etching press, register the plate and paper, ink up, and I use packing paper- around 280 gsm - x 4 sheets The result is a flawless pull! Here’s my latest print of The Ironbridge.

✨ Printmaking Tip: Prep your intaglio paper in just a few steps! Soak for 20+ minutes, squeegee the water off on the wall, then blot gently. This saves your blotting paper and keeps it in great condition! Tear down the paper after printing to get clean, torn edges without worrying about inky fingers
