Hey Intaglio Printmakers!

02/15/2008 10:56:18 / full of life

Has anyone bought a messotint rocker from Utrecht?  I was cruising their catalog last night (like toy catalogs at Christmas, you know? and noticed that their messotint rocker is significantly cheaper than Dick Blick or Dan Smith. It's so cheap, it's almost affordable  It makes me wonder if it's any good.  Dos anybody know?

Great!  Thanks David!  I think Utrecht just found themselves a customer.

Hi Marcia. I contacted Utrecht regarding your question and below is the response. David

 Our mezzotint rocker is made by the same company as the one sold by Dick Blick.  I am confident that the quality is just as good; however it is important to note that Dick Blick’s mezzotint rocker is 2-1/2” wide while ours is 1” wide.  Both Blick’s rocker and ours are 85 gauge.  Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.

 
Here is a link to the rocker on our website.
 
Thanks,
Matt Urban
