clichés/Plates |
An intaglio method in which the lines are bitten by acid.
The plate is coated with an acid-resistant material (ground)
through which the artist draws lines that expose the metal.
The plate is immersed in acid until the lines are bitten
into the plate. The ground ( The surface on an etching plate
that is impervious to acid) is removed before the plate is
inked for printing. |

Step 1: |
|
|
|
Positives have to be handled very carefully. Any crease
produces a blemish.
Avoid finger prints, use textile gloves if required (Art.
No. 14 to 45). Positive film and cliché have to be
absolutely free of dust particles before exposure.
Attach the positive film right reading , emulsion side down
(offset film). With adhesive tape to the Aqua-Nylo-Cliché.
Place adhesive tape as far as possible outside of print
motif. |

Step 2: |
|
|
|
Expose the
Aqua-Nylo-Cliché for 4 minutes |
|
Step 3: |
|
|
Wash out the Aqua-Nylo-Cliché fro 2 minutes in a washout
tray with cover (Art.No. 31 00 18) filled with water (room
temperature) in circular movements and without pressure
using plush holder and plush material (Art. No. 31 00 14 )
Finally wash out the Aqua-Nylo-Cliché once again with fresh
water and dry it carefully using compressed air or an
industrial hot-air drier. |
