CHARBONNEL solid varnishes are used for etching backgrounds.  Lamour Hard Black Opaque Etching Grounds Ball provides etching grounds in solid form.

While the Lamour Hard Black Opaque Ball offers hard grounds, it is not as hard as our Hard Black Ball Ground.

It delivers a matt black finish, which makes the etching work extremely clear. These grounds are ideal for etching fine details and deep lines.

These etching grounds should be applied to warm plates with a leather dabber or brayer.
