If you e-mail me the dimensions, I will get a quote for you - please specify arboron or steel.

I print linocuts and work with oil-based inks from Graphic Chemical. I
would like to experiment with transparent colors. Does anyone have any
suggestions for an additive to oil-based ink to make it more transparent
without loosing most of the consistancy of the ink? Graphic Chemical
recommended using Burnt Plate oil.

You could use refined stand oil. Or sun-thicked linseed oil though these may change some of the colors. Specifically the yellows and paler hued greens

My prints have arrived and I'm enjoying them. Thanks to all of you!
Now mine is one of 27,000 Baren prints out in the world and proud of it.

I know who you are. It's fun to recognize the styles of many of you.
