Blick Wool Blankets For Etching Presses

Blankets for etching presses are made of fine quality, dense wool felt. The higher the wool content, the stiffer the blanket. These blankets are cut in specific sizes for Blick etching presses.

For Your Information — We recommend that you use three blankets — a cushion, a pusher, and a catcher — to equalize the pressure and lessen the strain on the upper roller shafts of your press. You will need a catcher and a pusher. The catcher blanket should be placed directly on top of your damp printing paper, the cushion blanket on top of the catcher, and the pusher on the very top. The catcher blanket should be washed regularly so that it doesn't become stiff from the sizing.
