Test plates help you to calibrate your ink and pressure for use with Intaglio Editions plates.

Our Graphical and Photogravure 100-Step Test plates allow you to calibrate your process with confidence!

100-Step CONTINUOUS TONE Test Plate

Free US Shipping included! This 100-step test plate was designed to help you calibrate your ink and initial pressure before printing your Intaglio Editions plates, made exclusively on steel-backed Toyobo KM73 polymer plates! Our Tonal Profile should allow you to print to close to 90/100 steps, on average, with clean separation. Use Charbonelle Carbon Black as a baseline black for optimal tonal range and results.
