Henrik Bøegh: It is well known that traditional graphic materials contain a cocktail of healthy and environmentally harmfull acids and chemicals, that are without parallell in creative arts. They can each have their particular charakteristics that are harmfull for artists´health abd tne environment, but used together represent a very dangerous threat to anyone that use them frequently

and what health hazard can they cause?

![Page 10: NON TOXIC PRINTMAKING. The declaration of principle - to find materials and methods that are inexpensive in use - easy to acquire - appropriate to use](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/55180f4a550346a0438b46ed/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What`s the alternatives
Iron chloride – cooking oil and dishwashing soap – Johnson Clear Polish - Different acrylic based materials
![Page 11: NON TOXIC PRINTMAKING. The declaration of principle - to find materials and methods that are inexpensive in use - easy to acquire - appropriate to use](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/55180f4a550346a0438b46ed/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Standing Bath for iron chloride
![Page 12: NON TOXIC PRINTMAKING. The declaration of principle - to find materials and methods that are inexpensive in use - easy to acquire - appropriate to use](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/55180f4a550346a0438b46ed/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Recipe for the etching bath
• 1 kilo iron cloride in solid form (granulated) mixed with 2,5 litres warm water. This is equivalent to 30 degrees Baumé. This strength can also be used on zink (for standing bath)
• For etching on copper in Edinburgh Etch mix ¼ litre lemon acid powder in ¾ litre water (fine aquatints add som more water) Add 4 litres liquid iron chloride.
• For etching on zink with Edinburgh Etch mix
1/ 2- 1/3 litre lemon powder in 1 litre iron chloride and mix this in 5 litres of water

Developing liquid
In a 10 litres container with tap, mix 100 grams of washing soda in 10 litres of water. A little of the water is heated up to aid the dissolving of the washing soda crystals.
This mixture should be kept at an even 20 degrees Celcius.

The working process
• Printing plates (copper) cut to shape, polished with fine sand paper (600 or finer). Good de-greasing.
• Laminate ImagOn film to the printing plate• Expose the aquatint raster (not necessary if only
line motif)• Expose the original• Develope the film• Ink the printing plate and print as a normal
intaglio

Collagraphy
Collagraphy is a flexible printmaking technique wich contains the special peculiarities of printmaking together with the painterly and the sculptural. The expression can remind one of traditional aquatint where tones from white to velvet black can be achived. Painterly effects can remind one of lithography, whose hallmark is that the drawn and the painted media can be used, and gives the picture its character. It is also possible to achieve a strong textured expression through differences in layer in a built-up printing plate
