Toyobo Printight Solar Plate KM73 (photopolymer plates)

The Toyobo Printight Solar Plates consist of environmentally sound photopolymer film that sits on a plate. The photopolymer is a photosensitive material that can be exposed to UV light through a negative film. The light shines through the film to harden the polymer and the excess is washed away. This process contains no chemicals. The KM73 photopolymer is 0.73mm thick and on a steel plate.

The 790 x 1065mm plate will be sent as a large parcel and will incur a delivery surcharge.

Please note we do not accept photopolymer plate returns as conditions of storage and use after they have left us are beyond our control.

CUTTING FEE: If you require your plate to be cut you must add a cutting fee. Cutting fees can be added here

*** We are sorry but we are unable to cut the largest KM73 plate 790 x 1065mm

Toyobo Printight Solar Plate KF95

The Toyobo Printight Solar Plates consist of environmentally sound photopolymer film that sits on a plate. The photopolymer is a photosensitive material that can be exposed to UV light through a negative film. The light shines through the film to harden the polymer and the excess is washed away. This process contains no chemicals. The KF95 photopolymer is 0.95mm thick and on a mylar plate.

Please note we do not accept photopolymer plate returns as conditions of storage and use after they have left us are beyond our control.

Photogravure Instruction Manual by Henrik Bøegh

This is an invaluable instruction manual about photogravure using our Toyobo solar plates along with our Danish Aquatint Screens in a step-by-step guide through the entire process, from your first idea of making a photogravure to the final print. Along the way, Henrik discusses the importance of choosing the correct positive film, the most appropriate printer model and the significance of various UV light sources. In a separate chapter, the handmade positive for both intaglio printing and relief printing is discussed and the appendices address such matters as installing RIP software to make printing more accurate for Windows and Mac.

In this manual you will be guided through the following:
– How to make the perfect positive in Photoshop for printing on film or directly on the plate
– How to prepare the photopolymer plate for exposure and etching
– How to find the optimal UV exposure times of the aquatint screen and the digital positive
– How to etch the photopolymer plate in water
– How to harden, handle and print the photopolymer plate in black and white and in duotone

Aquatint Dot Screen Danish

*NEW AQUATINT DOT SCREENS – Much darker and intense than previous screens*

80% density 60 my (res. 2400 / 175 lines)

Minimum density in the bright areas 0,04
Maximum density of the black in the opaque areas 3,9-4

These Aquatint screens, also known as Stochastic screens, are printed on a high-resolution imagesetter film (produced especially for the use of continuous tone positives with photopolymer films and/or Toyobo Photopolymer Plates KM73). The screens produce deep blacks and delicate greys in the final print.

The Aquatint Screen Danish is a screen that has a dot pattern that is opaque. This pattern effectively simulates the random dot of a fine aquatint. Exposing the Aquatint Screen to a photosensitive plate will create an overall aquatint-like base.
