More Information
This set of etching needles from ABIG includes 3 assorted types for a myriad of techniques & styles.
With a variety of 3 tips, this selection allows you to produce incredibly detailed prints by etching (or scratching) patterns, shapes & designs into the surface of a metal or acrylic plastic plate. The ink then collects into the engraved areas of the surface for a deeply detailed result.
Fine Point: 1.5 x 45mm
Heavy Point: 2.0 x 60mm
Angle Point: 2.0 x 60mm
Producing an etched print:
- Scratch an image or design into the surface of a plate
- Apply colour by rolling ink onto the etched surface
- Wipe the surface, ensuring only the ink is collected in the scratched areas
- Carefully place your paper directly on top of the inked sheet
- Apply pressure (preferably using a press) & lift the paper
- Voila, an etched print!
