Resingrave Plate

Resingrave® 3/16" Plate

These hard, white epoxy resin engraving blocks give the same precise, finely detailed and clean edged marks of traditional end-grain boxwood at a fraction of the cost.

NEW! Two Thicknesses - 3/16" Plates plus 13/16" Blocks

Resingrave is now available in thin 3/16" (4mm) high plates as well as the original 13/16" (21mm) high blocks. The thinner 3/16" Resingrave is etching press friendly while the thicker 13/16" block is designed for letterpress.

Use for Relief or Intaglio

The surface of Resingrave is toothy enough to hold ink for relief printing. By polishing the surface, the blocks can be inked and then easily wiped to make an intaglio print. Instructions are available at "Basic Instructions > Blocks and Plates".

Using an Etching Press to Print Resingrave Blocks

Use only enough pressure to obtain a clean, strong impression. The use of very heavy pressure is unnecessary and you run the risk of fracturing the resin plate that is glued to its fiberboard base.

Also, the thickness of the plate can vary up to 1/2mm (1/64") so check the pressure each time you print a new plate.
