The printmaking facility at Augsburg is designed to accommodate a
variety of fine art printmaking processes. All forms of intaglio,
relief, and mono-printing methods can be practiced. Included in the room
are two etching presses, an etching area set up for use with ferric
chloride, an aquatint dust box, a critiquing wall, cleaning and drying
areas, generous glass-topped inking surfaces, tool and supply storage,
and an eye wash. The room is equipped with a high capacity venting
system that is activated when solvent-based materials are being used.
The print room is adjacent to an open lab that includes a paper and card
cutter, a light table, and ample desktop surface areas for planning and
group discussion.
