A HANDBOOK ON SOME NEW METHODS FOR NON-TOXIC INTAGLIO ETCHING AND METAL PLATE   PRINTMAKING by Cedric Green FRSA
Eighteenth edition October 2013
Published by Ecotech Design 26 Botanical Road, Sheffield S11 8RP Printed in France

This booklet is intended primarily for printmakers with some experience of producing prints from metal plates - copper, zinc steel or aluminium. It assumes a reader with a basic knowledge of the traditional processes of etching, and like me, with a feeling of dissatisfaction with the toxicity and general unpleasantness of many of the processes involved, in particular, the use of acid mordents, strong solvents and resin aquatint.

Safe & Safer
 Ad Stijnman With thanks to Anthea Boesenberg
[* This is a translated and reworked version of: Ad Stijnman, ‘Veilig en veiliger. Innovatie in de grafische technieken’, in: kM, vol. 50 (2004, Summer), p. 41-43.]
[** Often the term ‘non-toxic’ printmaking is used. A completely non-toxic way of working with the chemicals used in printmaking is not possible, as chemicals are needed in creating the image of cleaning the plate, which is reactive and possibly harmful. Terms, such as ‘healthier printmaking’ or ‘less-toxic printmaking’ better express that chemical procedures are less dangerous compared to those in traditional printmaking. Only such techniques as rubbing and Japanese-style woodcut printing with paste inks can be called non-toxic.] 
 [*** Developments in safer printmaking procedures can be followed through the issues of Printmaking Today from 1995 onward.]

In this book, Mark Graver puts the case for non-toxic printmaking and then discusses the various technical factors (both materials and equipment) to consider when etching with acrylic resists, making aquatints, etching in general, using drypoint, engraving, making mezzotints and collagraphs and using photopolymers as well as combining various printmaking techniques. There is also information on various inks and health and safety measures in the printing workshop. All in all, this book contains everything you need to know to clean up your printmaking practice.

  1. Hi Fazal ... have you started to map these sources visually yet? What are your main contexts? Which contexts do these sources fit into? As we discussed last wednesday evening one way to move a Contextual Review forward is to draw three circles on a sheet of paper and write the name of each of your major contexts in one circle. Now in each circle identify the sub-contexts (more focused and specific areas of the main topic), now find the major sources that are relevant to your inquiry, Based on what you have done so far, what would you say are the three major contexts for your inquiry? Which particular aspects of these are you exploring. Which of your sources goes into which context?

    OK. Some time ago I sent you a link to the British Library thesis database. Did you search it?

    Search it now and tell me what you find (https://ethos.bl.uk/Home.do) ...

    As you are moving well now I think it is important that you work on a statement of justification (rationale) and purpose for your project. At your Progress Presentation you will be asked to justify the need for this project. To prepare for that, draft a one paragraph that sets out: 1) what the problem/ issue you are addressing is (in general, safety in the print classroom – and in particular, the context in Pakistan); how your inquiry aims to address this problem/ issue (change practices, confront traditional ways of working, prove safety doesn't compromise artistic quality and so on).

    Keep moving .... ;)

  2. Can you check the Ethos thesis database before tomorrow's tutorial

Visual Essay (contextual Studies )

Initial proposal   Working Title : - My initial title is to investigate the safe printmaking with Non-toxic practice by Etching without Acid which is needed to explore and save the health of all concern practitioners   from the hazards of acids and solvents which produce aggressive gasses and aerosols. Research Question : - How to investigate the safe printmaking with Non-toxic practice. Project aim :- The  goal  of this project is to work on safe techniques and materials that can replace hazardous chemicals and oil-based inks with best results of  printmaking  processes. This research  aims  to promote awareness of  non - toxic ,  low -cost, and easily attainable resources.                                          ...
