Successor wanted for Polymetaal!
Hugo Bos, the owner of Polymetaal, started building etching presses and other graphic equipment around 1980. After 45 years it is time to look for a successor. Hugo himself wants to work in the company for many years to come, he still enjoys it a lot. Polymetaal therefore does not stop, but will continue to exist for years to come. Interested? ; send an email to info@polymetaal.nl. There is a short video about Polymetaal on Youtube (in Dutch)
‘Old Stock’ products from Peter van Ginkel's former warehouses. We expect the products to be usable, but offer no guarantee. Available for little money, but the products cannot be returned.
We have now "Skylight" photopolymer films in stock. Dit als alternatief voor: - ImagOn. Lately the quality was not stable and sometimes problematic - DK-Film. This film was made in Japan, but the factory stopped making it.
We have van Son Rubberbase inks back in stock. Van Son no longer exists, but our supplier has agreed to use the remaining raw materials to make a number of colours. Not all colours are available. The colours that are not available will be replaced by the Epple brand. Epple colours are Pantone colours and the ink is compatible with van Son.
We have now mechanically pre rocked copper mezzotint plates in stock
