Conclusion:
As per my research the safe printmaking nontoxic alternatives and solvents the (Electro etching) methods are more sufficient and reasonable methods which can easy installed and the accessories of electro Etching is more chipper and can give excellent quality of print art production as compare to other Nontoxic etching methods, which are more expensive and not easily available in Pakistan as well as Thailand.

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.                                          ...
