Solar plate Printmaking is a method of Printmaking where solar radiation (UV) hardens a photopolymer layer to make a plate with all the similarities of traditional etching. With Solarplate a film is produced onto acetate to create the image. The film and the Solarplate are exposed to UV radiation for a short time and the plate with the image on is developed in water. Once dried and post exposed it can be inked just as a metal etching plate would.
