Screen Printing Akua Carborundum Gel to Create an Intaglio Printmaking Plate

Carborundum gel can be applied to an intaglio plate to create dark tones areas. In this video we screen print the gel onto a drypoint plate for an even area of tone.

Hey... would it be possible to print this onto an aluminium plate and then etch that?

could you tell mw about the mesh detail please?

[@Handprinteduk]

43T mesh (43 threads per cm of mesh) is good for printing carborundum gel. It's quite gritty so a fairly open mesh is necessary.
