Paper eco-printing is fun, creative and super easy. This paper printing kit with metal plates will open  up a whole world of possibilities. You are only limited by your imagination! It's an economical way to experiment with leaves and flowers, and you can learn a lot about the process by experimenting with paper.

The basic process involves pressing leaves, flowers and paper between sheets of metal and simmering or steaming on the stove. Use the prints as greeting cards or gifts. Frame them, display them, mount them or use them in art projects.

The kit is designed to be used with a spirit of fun and experimentation. We know you will be asking ‘but what do I do?’ and the answer is ‘almost anything’ (but not with poisonous plants!)

We have included instructions for two very different projects for you to try. There  is also a video available in the product images. You can ask questions in the Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/printparty

 Don't feel limited by these instructions however - discover your own creations.

The kit contains:

  • 2x aluminum plates
  • 1x steel plate
  • 1x copper plate
  •  4x foldback clips
  • 6x calico cloth squares
  • 1x French terry cloth squares
  • Alum 50g Iron 7g

Lovely starter kit

I've always wanted to do some eco printing but didn't know where to start with getting everything together - the kits gives two options - a clean easy way to experiment and a 'dirty' way to get a bit more adventurous. My only criticism would be the pamphlet doesn't give precise ratios of water to mordants and also approximate times for soaking the paper (I realise that might take experimenting especially if using other papers)...what does 'don't soak it for long' mean? 2 minutes? 10 minutes?
I am looking for an old pot in second hand stores in order to do the 'dirty' printing and have found old rusty things to put in it.
Looking forwards to more playing whilst the weather is hot and the shed studio is too boiling hot to paint.
