K&S Copper Etching Plate (Imperial)

Copper Etching Plates are precision-rolled heavy-gauge metal sheet materials engineered to provide high structural flatness, superior workability, and authentic metallic appeal for fine art printmaking, architectural scale models, and electrical prototypes. Featuring a smooth mill finish, these high-purity copper plates offer printmakers, artists, and engineers a dependable substrate for chemical etching, engraving, and heavy-duty structural fabrication.

Manufactured from 99.9% pure Alloy 110 half-hard copper, this material combines high tensile stability with excellent responsiveness to chemical mordants, engraving tools, and chasing hammers. The rigid plate thickness ensures a perfectly flat surface for intaglio printing, custom heat sinks, and decorative metal reliefs. The plate can be cut using a metal-cutting saw or high-speed rotary tool, soft-soldered for high-strength electrical or mechanical bonds, and polished to a bright mirror shine or treated with chemical patinas for rich aged effects.

Available in a broad selection of plate sizes, thickness gauges, and pack choices across the product range, these copper etching plates deliver a practical, professional-grade solution for outfitting printmaking studios, custom mechanical assemblies, and high-fidelity architectural models.
