The inks used are Caligo etching ink and Akua intaglio inks, both of which are oil based inks with high lightfast properties.

The paper is acid free printmaking paper.

Each print is inked and printed by hand with variations in the inking process. The variations mean that each print is unique and in it’s own way an original.

Although every effort is made to photograph the prints accurately, colours may appear slightly differently on screen to the actual print.

Handmade Prints

These prints are all handmade and as such there can be slight variations in the prints in an edition, though these are very slight. It means that each print in an edition is unique and is an original in it’s own right.

Varied Editions (VE)

Prints that are marked VE by the edition number are part of a varied edition. This means there are enough difference between the prints that they are sold by their individual number.

Please bear in mind that although I take every care to photograph the prints as faithfully as possible there can also be variations in colour between what you view on a screen and the original print.
