The main print room accommodates a number of etching presses plus an Albion press for relief printing. This room is used for metal and paper cutting and houses two process darkrooms for photo etching and photo screen production.


The main etching room accommodates both traditional and non-toxic methods and includes an isolated extracted acid workshop plus a completely vented solvent cleaning space. The etching facility houses five intaglio presses and a dedicated inking area.


Screenprinting is completely non toxic and utilises the latest water based technology. This facility is supported by two process darkrooms for photographic stencilmaking, along with a dedicated Macintosh computer laboratory for electronic production.
The Electronic Printmaking laboratory is housed in the main printroom and its function is integral to all the print processes. This small lab houses four G5 Macintosh computers along with a number of input devices for scanning and video. The machines are set up to facilitate photographic stencilmaking, electronic manipulation and video production and editing.
