Solar Etching Plates are the ideal alternative to working with traditional hazardous techniques requiring grounds, acids and solvents. They are simple to use, pre-sensitised and self-etching polymer plates.

To use, place a transparency of an image on top of the Solar Etching Plate, expose to sunlight, run water over the plate to reveal an instant plate ready for printing.
As it does not use acids to produce etching plates, it is safe to use in the classroom, at home or in the studio.
