Non-Toxic Intaglio Printmaking

The Fine Art of Printmaking has existed for approximately 500 years. Traditionally, printmakers all over the world have made use of materials and techniques that were very hazardous to health and environment. Since the mid-1990s, however, the printmaking studios in the USA, Canada, Great Britain, Australia and Scandinavia have been testing new acrylic- and photopolymer-based alternatives and environmentally friendly etching methods that did away with organic solvents altogether. The technical development within the areas of acrylic- and photopolymer-based materials has offered printmakers a wide range of new materials and techniques. Not only do they replace the traditional techniques; they also make new options available, being cheaper, more durable, faster and mutually combinable. Last, but not least, it is possible to integrate digitally generated artwork with traditional techniques in copper etchings.
