Felt Mat for Fome School Etching Press. The wool felt blanket helps to transfer pressure from the press to the printing contact area. The felt will assist the paper to push into the uneven plate surface, picking up ink from the intaglio grooves. Made from 100% wool felt. Every now and then, the blanket may need a wash, which can be done by hand in cool water with a gentle detergent, ensuring the blanket is dried flat.
Fome School Etching Press is for manual chalcographic printing (copperplate intaglio printing), suitable for school use and for beginners. Able to print up to a maximum of 22cm wide paper. Made in Italy by Fome.
