| | | | | [312] Etching Options for Champleve | I have found through may research on metal etching that there is a plethora of information out there. I hope by compiling it and offering it to you, you will be better able to choose the best option for your champleve needs. There are of course means other than etching to prepare a surface for champleve enameling, namely piercing and soldering, forming with a hydraulic press, stamping or engraving. This article however will deal only with the etching options..... (1998)

It involves a mordant (acid) and a resist to that acid. The resist can take many forms, plastic, vinyl, marking pens, duct tape, nail polish, etc. As long as it resists water, the procedure will work well. With current photocopy technology and computer laser printer technology, you have more flexibility in your designs. These are basically the same techniques as printmakers use with zinc, but with brass, copper or bronze and silver, you have options for additional fabrication choices involving solder or cold connection....

Etching can be used for printing processes, as an artifact of art, or for roller print embellishment. It involves a mordant (acid) to etch an image onto metal and a resist to repel the mordant. A resist can take many forms: plastic, vinyl, marking pens, duct tape, nail polish, etc. As long as it resists the mordant, the procedure will work. This technique creates high resolution images, and intricate surrounding textures that give your pieces an organic quality. With current photocopier, digital imaging and laser printer technologies you have more design flexibility. You can add text, reverse images, and control contrast. The photoetching process we describe below essentially uses the same techniques that printmakers employ. Except we use brass, copper, bronze and silver instead of zinc as printmakers do. This process also gives you the options of soldering and making cold connections.... (2011)
