Akua Wiping Cloth

Made with polyester, Akua Wiping Fabric is less absorbent, smoother and softer than traditional tarlatan. Its unique construction allows plates to be wiped much more quickly and effectively, leaving more highly saturated colour and smooth solids without streaking, with no need for a final paper or hand wipe.

Long-lasting and lint-free, Akua Wiping Fabric is a must have for any Intaglio, Drypoint, Collagraph, Monotype or Photopolymer project. Suitable for use with any water- or oil-based printmaking inks. 

Available in 2 Options: 
  • 10 yards x 19" pack of Akua Wiping Cloth.
  • by the metre from a 48cm wide roll
