Lithography
Lithography is magic! We are lucky to be the recipients of a combination press and stone library from our founders’ alma mater. No current members are actively practicing lithography, therefore our facility isn’t set up for start-to-finish stone printing. Borrow a stone from our library to grain and etch at home or your own studio and print it here! We keep less toxic process materials on site for use, but do not allow nitric acid at BYO Print, as we do not have adequate ventilation or an isolated space for it. If you need help figuring out how to make a litho here, get in touch and we can help you figure it out.
