PLATES
The degree and fineness and detail is not only determined by the artist but also by the choice of plate. The character of the work varies enormously depending on whether the artist chooses to use wood and whether that wood is hard or soft, linoleum , vinyl or rubber. We have a selection of different relief plates that provide the artist with this flexibility of choice.
