Nuart Aluminium Etching Plate

Satin finish 1.0mm aluminium plate with the printing surface protected from accidental scratching by a self-adhesive plastic film. The unprotected reverse side and edges of the plate should be coated with shellac, to protect against the acidic action of the mordant, before removing the plastic film prior to applying the grounds to the printing surface. Ferric chloride solution is the recommended mordant.
