Photo-etching Plates Coated and Developed with Puretch by Jennifer Page
Send your image or transparency along with your copper plate and I will expose it with Puretch and have it ready for etching. I have experience with this dating back to the early 90s living in NYC and working with several artists and printers at Bob Blackburn's Printmaking Workshop. I have made photo-etched plates for Lorna Simpson, Richard Prince, Peter Max, Robert Motherwell, Roy Lichtenstein and several others. Please contact me for rates. Steel Facing of Copper Etching Plates
I can steel face copper plates up to 12 x 14". The steel I use is a super low carbon stee lthat is less than .04% carbon content (1.00% = 1%) which will ensure a very bright plating. The square inch price is $0.40 with a $10 handling fee for every plate after the first and a $40 minimum. Normal cleaning is included. If plates are very dirty or heavily oxidized then we will need to charge a cleaning fee. Copper Photogravure Plates by Unai San Martin
Gravures can be made using a fine stochastic screen or PICCO dustgrain, dustgrain costs extra because of time involved.
Turnaround: Normally 3 weeks upon reception of the image and approval.
Payment: 50% in advance, remaining 50% at the end of the project.
Steel facing of the plates is optional but highly recommended.
Photogravure platemaking includes copper and 2 proofs. Editioning services also available.
