Lighten / Blur

In this category you will find tools used to lighten or erase intaglio marks.

• Scrapers, available in several sizes. The most common are the precision scraper, or the medium scraper (a little less precise but a little more rigid). The nano scraper is to be reserved for details.
• Abrasive leads and erasers are between scrapers and burnishers: leads are more like pencils, erasers are more flexible for more . They come in 4 different sizes (one handle per size)
  • Micro version, can be used like a very fine pencil (abrasive leads only)
  • The 2mm and 3mm versions are very similar. They allow you to use both erasers and leads. Prefer the 3mm version unless you also want to use the 2mm handle for other tips (nano scraper, mini cutter)
  • The 6mm version only exists for abrasive erasers, but also allows you to insert a large scraper blade.
