Etching Press Wool Blanket 3mm 500x900mm

Etching Press Wool Blankets are used on presses when printing intaglio plates. They can be used in combination to help transfer the ink from the plate tot he dampened paper. Common blanket combinations include a 3mm blanket paired with a 6mm blanket. The 3mm blanket provides cushioning for the plate whilst still allowing for sufficient pressure when printing. When using for relief printing it can go next to the paper where a thinner blanket is not required. 

When using multiple blankets together the thinnest blanket is placed closest to the plate and the thickets closest to the top roller of the press. These beautiful artists quality blankets can be used with most etching presses and are suitable for use in the studio, classroom or home. 

*Please note that these blankets may differ by +/- 10% in size.
