Etching Press Blankets
We sell a great range of etching press blankets for you to choose from. We not only sell etching press blankets but also use them here our printmaking studio and Gallery in Ironbridge. Our Printing Matt comes with each press so you can get printing straight away. If you need a replacement or you would like the traditional printing blankets they are here. Many people love using our one printing Matt that we supply with the press as the results are fantastic, follow this link to see prints made using this one printing blanket. Other people prefer to use the two or three traditional blankets. All different blankets will give different results so its best to experiment to find the results you want. If you would like any help with your choice please give us a call. We can cut any of our blankets to any size you require.

If you want a large Hotplate that you want as a static unit for your professional printmaking studio or workshop then you will find what you want here. All of our hotplates are made so that you can just plug them in and not worry about using up lots of power.

Our Spindle rollers are made from Nitrile rubber, they are excellent quality, easy clean and they are a dream to use. We make soft, medium and hard Spindle rollers in 3 different sizes. You can also purchase a Roller Holder for each spindle roller that can sit on the work surface, or be put on the wall. Our printmaking rollers can be used to print the following plates, lino, woodblock, intaglio etchings, photo-etchings, solar plates (if your inking in relief), photoengraver, collagraph, letterpress, mono-printing and monotype. For single inkings with 1,2,3 or rainbow colours you can purchase any size roller and ink any size plate up even if the plate is larger than your roller. For inking plates up with colour you have extended, it is advisable to purchase a roller that is larger than your plate. When you are inking up the relief surface of an already inked intaglio plate you will only be able to go over the plate once which means the size of your roller will have to be larger than the plate you are printing. The smallest roller is 4” Diameter x 10” length = a circumference of 12.56” Making the maximum plate size (for double inking) 10” x 12.56” The medium roller is 5” Diameter…

Our Hessian backed traditional Lino plates come in several different sizes and you can purchase packs of 5 or 10. We have Lino Registration pins and runners if you are wanting perfect registration. If you need any help send us an email or call for more information.
Mounted Traditional Lino
Our Mounted Traditional Hessian Lino is mounted onto an 18mm fibreboard block, giving extra rigidity for printing.
SoftCut Lino Unmounted
Our Softcut 3mm thick Lino Blocks are super smooth which makes cutting very easy. The cutter glides through the surface of the plate with minimum effort. These come in 4 different sizes and you can purchase them in packs of 5 or 10. If you are hand-printing these Lino’s it is possible to get good registration however if your using a printing press its best to either mount them yourself or purchase them mounted already as these plates swash very easily.
