TOOLS
Tools used in intaglio printing range from very basic needles to the more elaborate mezzotint rockers and roulettes. The scraper and burnisher play very important roles in most intaglio processes and may be purchased as individual tools or as combination burnisher scrapers. Please note tools will require sharpening before your first use and we suggest a quick sharpen at the beginning of each use to avoid over blunting.

Mezzotint Rockers
One of the most beautiful methods of printmaking, and probably the most time-consuming, in terms of plate preparation. The velvety tones produced originate with good quality tools and copper plates. We recommend “The Mezzotint” by Carol Wax (Bookshelf pg 41) as a companion text for practitioners and fans. Lyons Mezzotint Rockers - best quality hardened steel set in a wide wooden handle. Sharpening is recommended before use.
