This facility offers a wide range of processes, primarily focused on paper-based printmaking.
There are facilities for screen-printing images of up to 1150mm x 750mm, using three Natgraph vacuum tables.
The workshop produces etchings using the acrylic-resist etching process, and these and other intaglio plates (aquatint and drypoint and photo-etchings) can be printed on three etching presses, including a 660mm x 1219mm size Rochat press.
There is also a powerful hydraulic nipping press for printing relief plates such as lino and collograph.
The workshop has a separate area devoted to bookmaking and working with paper, and we recently acquired a letterpress and a large range of type for use with it.
