Review on Akua Printmaking Plates Inches PET8123 by Kim Sanchez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

For monotype lovers

I bought these for my college engraving class not knowing what to expect. I'm obviously no pro when it comes to this type of art, but from what I've tried with it so far, it works great. Excellent for monotype printing, these plates keep the ink applied to them moist, so you don't have to worry about the ink you apply drying out. It applies cleanly to the paper both on the press and by simply rolling the paper across the platen. I treated the surface of these panels like a canvas and painted with ink as if it were paint on paper.

Pros
  • HIGH QUALITY MOLDS - strong, easy to press and easy to clean
Cons
  • boring packaging
