- A drypoint is a lovely intaglio printmaking method where line drawing takes centre stage. Drypoint plastic enables us to trace a drawing and easily wipe the plate for the perfect finish. Materials are available at handprinted.co.uk

What a beautiful doll! Her big clear eyes are a pair of windows to Heaven! Thank you doll for your instructions!
Brilliant video, everything I needed to know, thank you Holly! 😀👍🏼
Thanks Holly, another informative video
Thanks Holly! Excellent info, but most people don't own a press or have access to one, especially in these COVID times. I've had pretty good luck with hand printing using the method you've shown for incising and inking. I added some Akua Mag Mix to the ink and that seemed to help with the hand printing. I sure wish there was a Handprinted in the US, where I am!!
Oh fantastic!
Great video thank you. Can you do this kind of printing without a press?
Presses produce best results but you can get some prints on thinner paper (like Shoji) and a spoon.
Where can you buy drypoint plastic in U.S.A? And what is the brand of this drypoint plastic?
Hi Holly, thank you for lovely video ... I have Caligo safewash ink, can I use that? I also have Caligo oil based ink.
Idk if you still need the information but I use the Caligo ink and it works great for me. Depending on the tube you might want some ink modifiers though
Also, what is "drypoint plastic"? I know Akua makes plastic plates. And what brand are the etching needles you have in your shop?
Drypoint plastic is a plastic we sell that we have found is ideal for drypoint printing. The etching needles are Abig
Does the final print feel rough to the touch? Let me know thanks.
No, the final print feels smooth
Beautiful baby. Too bad you were busy with useless things!
