Monotype Plates
Forget about the mess and bother of dampening paper for monotypes with Akua Kolor ink and these clear, polycarbonate plates.
Water based inks like Akua Kolor look their most intense when printed on dry paper, but traditional monotype plates are too thick and the paper can buckle around the edges of the plate as it is run through the press. These plates are just 2mm thick and will print on dry paper without any problem.
The plates are thin enough to cut easily into any size with a sharp utility knife. Unlike mylar film they are stiff enough to ink up and handle without difficulty.
Crystal clear and smooth so it is easy to copy designs placed under the plate. With water-based ink, clean with soap and water; use Bon Ami if the plate becomes stained. With oil-based ink, clean with mineral spirits or vegetable oil.
