This is an original hand-pulled drypoint Tetra-Pak print. Limited edition of 3 prints.

Drypoint printing is a form of printmaking referred to as "intaglio" printmaking.

For the process of drypoint printmaking, a sharp, needle like tool is used to "scratch" the image on the surface of the plate. The plate can be metal, plastic or cardboard.

I used recycled Tetra-Pak cardboard which is commonly used for long-life liquids such long-life milk and juices. The Tetra-Pak for this print was a recycled Bonsoy Soy Milk carton.

The Tetra-Pak brand cardboard has a thin coating of aluminium and polyethylene on top, making it ideal for scribing, peeling, and wiping off ink.

The scribing process is a detailed and time consuming process, and requires a high level of attention and patience.

The plate is then inked with archival quality ink and printed on acid free archival quality printmaking paper, using a printing press.

Each sheet is hand torn to the required size.

Due to the nature of the handmade process, each print is unique and will have slight variations.
