Hi Joseph, I have looked around on Google for something like the scoring tool you use in this video. Under "pull" graver tool or scoring tool I come up blank. Is yours purchased or homemade? Thanks, Cornelia
You can print on any thickness plate, it’s how the plate is prepped and beveled that dictate how it prints. But a proper etch requires a decent amount of copper material so that might be too thin.
Ground material? Thank you - great video
Charbonnel hard ground
very helpful, thank you :)
Haidy Mohamed 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Do you generally prefer grounds that come in the form of balls or grounds that are already liquid like the one you used in the video?
edgelord1471 if I have a hotplate, ball grounds, at home for ease I use the liquid.

Would you please till me if 1mm thickness is fine for intaglio printing?

Why you sand the plate without water? Am I wrong for always sanding with water?
edgelord1471 water will rust the plate, very bad idea.
