Printmaking at ISU provides an experience rich in personal support, challenge, and interaction. The printmaking studio provides an environment for stimulation, experimentation, expression, and creative growth. Our spacious communal studio offers a variety of printmaking techniques including etching, lithography, relief, collagraph, solar plate, serigraphy, and monotype.

We have a Charles Brand etching press and a Whelan etching press, a Griffin etching press and a Griffin lithography press. We have a dark room which houses a large vacuum table exposure unit and a separate solar plate exposure unit. We hold a modest collection of lithographic stones, several sets of viscosity rollers and brayers, a large capacity drying rack, a plate chopper, and an aquatint spray booth. We also have a spray booth, a four arm carousel, and flash drying unit for screen printing.
