chock full of good nuggets May 5, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This modest-sized handbook is packed with useful tips for intaglio color printing. You will find detailed information about paper, inks, wiping, and edition handling beyond most general printmaking books. I have an extensive collection of printmaking guide books, yet found myself underlining and starring numerous technical tidbits unique to this book. Particularly useful is the treatment of photopolymer methods in addition to the expected coverage of traditional acid etching approaches. Finally, one gets the occasional "bon mot" such as this:
"..there is no mystery to etching but plenty of magic."
