In this book, Mark Graver puts the case for non-toxic printmaking and

mezzotints and collagraphs and using photopolymers as well as combining
various printmaking techniques. There is also information on
various inks and health and safety measures in the printing
workshop. All in all, this book contains everything you need to know to clean up your printmaking practice.
