Members supply their own plates and paper for proofing and printing. We do carry a selection of paper that members may purchase.

Etching using zinc or aluminum is possible using a copper sulphate solution or ferric chloride for copper plates. Screen printing is currently limited to stencil or hand drawn methods as we do not have darkroom facilities yet.
