About this title

Review:

The book's great appeal is that everyone working in printmaking--faculty, students
and professionals--will be able to find something useful in it. More than that,
however, Pogue's book makes it incumbent on us to act responsibly. Knowledge of
these issues is essential and applying that knowledge is required of all of us. Printmaking Revolution--New Advancements in Technology, Safety and Sustainability is an
essential manual for print practice now.
