McClain's Printmaking Supplies
Dedicated to the Art and Artists of Relief Printmaking
Dear Friends,
"…as always the order was expertly packaged and the
products in primo condition. Thank you for your attention to
detail."
"I would just like to say that your company is amazing! You
always ship quickly, the wood is gorgeous and perfectly
packed.You do a wonderful job at McClain's…"
"Just wanted to let you know that the package arrived just
fine…"
"A fantastic service, wonderful products, all delivered
beautifully and to my utter delight!"
Oh stop now, you're making us blush. But we do get a lot of
compliments on our careful packaging. Don't you wonder
about those companies that throw your supplies into a box,
toss in a couple of plastic pillows and expect things to arrive
in one piece? It makes sense to us to pack things well because
we appreciate the supplies we carry and hate to think that
they might be damaged on their way from us to you.
This year we thought we'd show you how we look adorned
with some of our favorite packing materials, just to prove
how much we love what we do.
We're excited to be traveling to SGCI in San Francisco this
March. California is just to our south, so no changing planes,
long flights or jet lag for us this year. Then it's off to Detroit,
Michigan in September for the MAPC convention. We hope
to see you at one, if not both, of these exciting events.
Also in September, the 2nd International Mokuhanga
Conference will be held in Tokyo, Japan. Please go to www.
mokuhanga.jp for information.
Last year Josh started teaching printmaking through Portland
Community College and this year he is adding classes at
Portland State University. Chris is also teaching relief
printmaking at the Multnomah Art Center and Alex will
teach a Moku Hanga class at Oregon College of Art and Craft
this spring. It is going to be a busy year!
Here’s to a year filled with new experiences and lots of
creativity. Thank you for your support and as always, we wish
you the very best. Keep in touch!
Josh, Alex, Kaitlyn, Ally and Chris
For over thirty years McClain’s has been importing tools and relief
printmaking materials from Japan for artists and students. We
continue to select merchandise of the highest quality from some of
the most reputable Japanese manufacturers and dealers, many of
whom practice crafts that have been handed down in their families
for centuries. McClain’s supplies linocut, engraving, Solarplate and
monotype printmakers with materials from around the world. Our
mission is to help relief printmakers find the materials and support
they need to reach their printmaking goals.
About the Cover

Nicholas Wilson

NewbyGallery.com
Nicholas Wilson has been painting, sculpting and printmaking for
over 45 years.
In addition to engravings, Mr. Wilson creates etchings, bronze
sculptures and works in gouache, oils and watercolors. His
artwork has brought many exciting opportunities in his life, from
Curator of Exhibits at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in
Tucson, Arizona in the 1970's to a 16,250 sq.ft. mural he painted
at the Jungle World Exhibit in the Bronx Zoo, New York in the
1980's. His gouache paintings, which depict his unique style of
texture and whimsy, have been exhibited around the world and
are in permanent collections at the Booth Western Art Museum in
Georgia and the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma. Mr. Wilson
has also enjoyed the challenges of monumental bronze sculpture
commissions including "The Wildcat Family," an 11.5' sculpture
at the University of Arizona in Tucson and "Natural Flow," a 14'
sculpture at the Booth Western Art Museum.
In an online interview with Printsy: Printmakers of Etsy, Mr.
Wilson said, "Printmaking remains one of my primary means of
expression in my art. It allows me to get to the core of a thing
in the most essential, graphic terms. A limited edition of images
fulfills a certain kind of satisfaction for me...Currently, I’m deeply
involved in wood engraving which I find especially interesting.
It is certainly my favorite... I’ve painted gigantic murals in New
York, huge bronze sculptures for an Art Museum in Georgia plus
numerous paintings in all mediums yet I find myself constantly
returning to my printmaking for the shear joy of it."

Japanese Pronunciation Guide
Consonants
Japanese consonant sounds are pronounced pretty much the same as
English consonants with the exception of r. Try placing the tongue softly
just behind the teeth, as if you were saying "la," and make a sound half
way between r and l. It should take hardly any effort to say. The r in the
word "baren" uses this sound.
NEW in this year's catalog
Vowels
While English has at least eighteen vowel sounds, Japanese has only five:
a
i
u
e
o
"ah"
"ee"
"oo"
"eh"
"oh"
So the word "moku hanga," the Japanese word for woodblock print, is
pronounced "moh-koo hahn-gah."
Metric Conversions
Japan uses the metric system, so sizes for most of the supplies from that
country are metric. All other measurements in the catalog are in inches.
The rulers below will help you convert from inches to centimeters.

Relief Ink, page 19
PNCA (Pacific Northwest
College of Art) in Portland,
Oregon worked with Gamblin
Artists Colors to create a limited
edition recycled ink. The mix
of recycled pigments is different
every year, so Watershed Grey
is always unique and never
repeated. Check online for an
approximate color sample.
After seven years of printing
woodblocks on over 30,000
t-shirts, Drive By Press (in
collaboration with Gamblin
Artists Colors) has perfected a
rich, dark black ink designed for
use on cotton fabrics. The ink is
formulated for even coverage,
quick drying time and color
fastness. Perfect for printing on
t-shirts and any other cotton
based fabric.

Sizes and Availability
CUSTOM SIZES
Shina Plywood
This fine-grained plywood comes from
Hokkaido, the northernmost island in Japan.
Shina feels virtually grainless as you carve it
and it is dense enough to hold sharp edges
through many printings.
A very thin layer of glue is used between the
Shina plies, so compared to most plywoods,
these blocks will feel more like solid wood as
you carve them. Because the glue is thin, tools
stay sharp longer.
Comparing 3/8" and 1/4" Shina Plywood
• Because it is thicker, 3/8" is less apt to warp
• 3/8" can be safely carved on both sides
• If the block is to be carved on both sides, 3/8"
is more economical
• If the block is to be carved on just one side, 1/4"
is more economical
• 1/4" is easier to print on an etching press
because it is thinner
To prevent warping, store blocks
flat in a dry place, away from excessive
heat. If you plan to carve both sides of a
block tape a heavy sheet of paper on the
side not being cut. This will protect the
underside from dents or scratches.
Grain On standard sizes, the wood grain
runs parallel with the longest dimension.
Custom blocks can be cut with the grain
running parallel to the short dimension.

Cherry Plywood
This plywood is made by a carpenter and
craftsman in Maine who is also a relief
printmaker. The cherry veneer is made from
native New England black cherry. Because
it grows in the cold north, the wood is very
dense and close-grained, similar to the
mountain cherry of Japan.
A 1/8" thick veneer is cut from the face of
the cherry plank. This veneer is applied to
12mm (approximately 1/2") white baltic birch
plywood. Both the birch veneer and the cherry
veneer are free from knots or blemishes. The
grain of the veneer on both sides runs parallel
to the longest dimension.
12 x 16 and 14 x 18 blocks may have one or
two seams where the cherry butts together to
create these larger blocks.
SAVE 5% Receive a 5% discount
on orders of 12 or more of the same
size Cherry Plywood blocks.
Sizes The blocks are just under 5/8" thick.
Custom sizes are not available. However, we
can cut larger blocks down into smaller sizes
for you. The saw blade removes about 1/8"
with each cut. The price is $0.25 per cut.

Mounted ArtPrint Linoleum
ArtPrint Linoleum is made in the Netherlands
specifically for printmaking. It is stiff enough
to hold fine detail and easily carved with any
of McClain's woodblock carving tools. Keep a
Leather Honing Block (page 11) handy because
carving linoleum dulls tools faster than wood.
Mounted ArtPrint Linoleum is permanently
bonded to a high quality wooden substrate
chosen for its uniform thickness. The even
surface is a favorite of letterpress printers.
Blocks are 5/8" tall.
To prevent warping, blocks should be cleaned
after use and stored flat in a dry place.
Receive a 5% discount on
orders of 12 or more of the same size of
Mounted ArtPrint Linoleum blocks.

Unmounted ArtPrint Linoleum
ArtPrint Linoleum is made for printmakers
and is easy to carve. Unmounted linoleum is
3mm thick or just shy of 1/8".You can easily
cut up large pieces of linoleum with a utility
knife or we can cut custom sizes for you for a
small additional charge. Allow one week to cut
custom blocks and for large orders.

Gomuban "Rubber Plate"
This soft, easy to carve, vinyl-rubber plate
is used extensively in Japanese classrooms.
Gomuban is imported from Japan.
Compared to white eraser material (Speedy
Cut or MasterCarve) Gomuban is just as easy
to carve, but it is stiffer so it holds very fine
details and crisp edges even under pressure
from a press. Gomuban can be printed on
either side but the green side is smoother.

Resingrave & Engraving Tools
Resingrave Blocks & Plates Angle Tints Elliptic Tints Gravers Burins Multiple Line Tools Stippling Tool Sandbags Sharpener
Resingrave™
These hard, white epoxy resin engraving
blocks give the same precise, finely detailed
and clean edged marks of traditional endgrain boxwood but at a fraction of the cost.
Resingrave can be carved with sharp tools
more smoothly, with less chipping and cleaner
edges, than most end-grain wood.
Excessive heat can cause Resingrave to become
brittle so store blocks flat in a dry place at
room temperature.
Two Thicknesses - 13/16" Thick Blocks or
3/16" Thin Plates The thinner 3/16" plate
is etching press friendly while the thicker
13/16" block is more suitable for letterpress.
Use for Relief or Intaglio Printmaking
The surface of Resingrave is toothy enough to
hold ink for relief printing. But after polishing
the surface, the blocks can be inked and then
wiped clean for intaglio printmaking. Polishing
instructions can be found at imcclains.com.
Custom sizes can be created.
Special orders may take as long as two weeks to
manufacture. There are no discounts on
custom sizes.
Custom Sizes
Engraving Tools
Use these tools to carve Resingrave and wood engraving blocks. The higher the size number, the
broader the tip. Engraving tools come from the manufacturer factory sharp but not honed, so they
need some sharpening before they will carve their best. A Crocker Sharpener (below) holds tools flat
against the stone while they are being sharpened; highly recommended.

woodblock carving chisels and gouges
These handcrafted, hand forged, steel tools are designed specifically for
woodblock printmakers carving on horizontal surfaces. The steel used
in these knives is the very best available. The blades on all of these tools
can be repositioned or replaced (call or go to imcclains.com to order
replacement blades). All of the tools are approximately 12.5cm (5") in
length. The handles are kaba (birch) and the ferrules are brass. These fine
tools are made to be used and enjoyed for a lifetime.
4.5mm

The blades on the Nomi (chisels) are made of the highest quality steel,
while the handles are lacquered kashi (Japanese oak), the strongest and
most durable wood growing in Japan.
The Kento Nomi is designed to make kento (registration marks) by hand.
The length is approximately 16.7cm (6").
The Maru Nomi (u-gouges) and Soai Nomi (chisels), with metal ferrules
at the end of the handles, can be used as hand tools or hit with a kizuchi, a
wooden mallet (see page 11). They are all around 21cm (8¼") long.

standard quality woodblock carving tools
Very good quality, reasonably priced Namisei tools look identical to
Josei Moku Hanga To. However, they are made with machine forged
steel blades instead of hand forged and marked with a "C" on the end
of the handle. Total length is approximately 21cm (8¼"). Made for
hand cutting, not for use with a mallet.
Make Up Your Own Set and SAVE 5% or 10%
Receive a 5% discount when you purchase four or five Namisei

Custom Fit Tools to Your Hand
Many carvers cut down the handles on Josei and
Namisei Moku Hanga To so the tools fit comfortably in
their hand. Measure from the tip of your longest finger
to the web between the index finger and thumb. Cut
the handle so the whole tool, from the tip of the blade
to the end of the handle, is this length.

A few strokes on leather will keep your tools
in top shape, without changing the bevel. Made
of leather mounted to a wood base. Horse
hide is tougher than cow hide so usually it lasts
longer. Rubbing Honing Compound into the
leather helps polish and put a sharp edge on a
blade quickly. Highly recommended.

Toishi: Water Sharpening Stones
Ceramic Toishi
Natural Toishi
Natural stones are cut from native fine grained
mudstone, and within one stone the texture may
vary slightly from fine to extra fine. Natural Toishi
create their own creamy lubricating paste readily, so
a Nagura Stone (below) is not necessary. Lubricate
with water, never oil. Shape may vary.
S3002
$56.00
size varies; approx. 2.25" x 6.25"
Nagura Stone
A soft, natural chalk stone. Rub the Nagura Stone
on any ceramic toishi to create a creamy lubricating
paste that improves sharpening action and gives a
high polish to the tool.
S3800
$34.65
rough cut stone, shape and size vary
Ceramic Slipstones
Slipstones are shaped for removing the burr that
forms inside v-gouges or u-gouges after the bevel
has been sharpened. They are medium grit and
about four inches long. Use with water or oil.
Ceramic stones are very uniform all the way through and put an edge on
blades very quickly. Lubricate with water, never oil.
Flat Ceramic Toishi
Flat Ceramic stones come in three grits:
shiageto (fine, on the left in the photo),
chudo (medium, in the middle), and arato
(coarse, on the right). Use the shiageto stone
regularly to keep tools in top condition
and the chudo stone occasionally when the
tool is noticeably dull. The arato stone is
reserved for grinding out nicks.

conveniently formed grooves and ridges to aid
in sharpening u-gouges. The back can be used as
a flat stone for knives and chisels so long as the

Work Sharp WS3000®
Specifications
The Work Sharp WS3000 is a small, tough,
motorized sharpener. The Work Sharp can
be used to sharpen and hone carving tools,
lathe tools, scrapers, putty knives and plane
blades quickly and easily. The WS3000 offers
three ways to sharpen tools:
Top Side Sharpening Wheel The Work
Sharp comes with two 3/8" plate glass
wheels and sandpaper discs in 4 grits:
120, 400, 1000 and 3600. An optional
Leather Honing wheel is also available.
Chisel and Plane Iron Port The Work
Sharp sharpens long necked chisels and
plane blades up to 2" wide to a perfect 20°,
25°, 30° or 35° bevel angle. Designed for
dry sharpening, routed airflow from the
motor and a special heatsink design keeps
tools from overheating (not shown).
Note: Except for the Kento Nomi, the
blades on the chisels that McClain's sells are
too short to be sharpened using the port.
Top Side Sharpening Wheel, Iron Port
Leather Wheel
Edge-Vision Wheel
Edge-Vision™ Sharpening Wheel Place
the tool on the underside of the wheel, and as the wheel spins, you can
actually see through it so you are looking at the cutting edge of tool
while you sharpen it. Works very well for sharpening u-gouges. The
Work Sharp comes with slotted abrasives in 3 grits; 80, 400 and 1200.

Takach Hand Brayers
These are the finest brayers available
today. The roller is a blend of
natural rubber and Buna Nitrite.
This durable blend has a longer life
span than other materials and stays
a consistent hardness. The rubber
is wrapped on the aluminum roller
core, cured, ground and polished.
The metal frame also forms the stand for the brayer. Try holding the
handle upright, perpendicular to the printing block. The pressure from the
weight of the brayer will help apply the ink with very little effort.
The 2½" diameter rollers roll out 7¾" of ink without a lap mark. 12"
wide Jumbo Brayers have a big 3½" diameter roller that rolls out 11" of
ink, providing an 11" x 12" square of ink without a lap mark.
35 durometer brayers are the most versatile rubber hardness. Most
printmakers prefer 20 or 35 durometer rubber because their flexibility
makes it easy to ink the block evenly. Hard brayers are preferred for rolling
out light applications of ink, for example to show the block's wood grain.
Takach Hand Brayers are shipped directly from the manufacturer. The cost
of shipping varies depending on weight and destination; average cost is $12
to $20 for UPS Ground. Please allow two weeks for delivery.

Akua Intaglio Ink
Formulated for intaglio printmaking, this ink can also be applied with a
brayer and used to print woodcuts, linocuts, monotypes, and collagraphs.
A thin coat of ink and absorbent paper are the key to relief prints that
will dry completely. Akua Intaglio will print from any plastic, wood,
linoleum or metal plate.
Akua Intaglio is made using pure mineral water in a thick soy oil base
that is strongly pigmented with light fast pigments. It is water fast after it
dries, but will counterproof well while fresh. Akua Liquid Pigments can
be used to tint Akua Intaglio ink. Akua Intaglio will never skin over or
harden in the jar.
Like Akua Liquid Pigments, Akua Intaglio cleans up easily with soap and water. Works well printing
Solarplates (page 4).
Each jar contains 8 fl oz (237ml) of ink. Two Trial Sets are available in 2 fl oz (59ml) jars.
Color samples are approximate.

Caligo Safe Wash Relief Ink
• Linseed oil base, cleans up with soap and water
• Excellent choice when solvents cannot be used
• Lightfast pigments (Blue Wool Scale 6 or higher)
• Heavily pigmented so a little goes a long way
• Rolls out easily and smoothly, great coverage
To thin the ink and still allow soap and water clean up, add Caligo Safe
Wash Oil, which contains the same emulsifier used in the Caligo Safe
Wash colors. Thicken with Magnesium Carbonate.
Skin Papers help keep ink in cans from skinning over. Replace the paper
after removing ink. Some inks, such as Opaque White and Extender, are
so loose that skin papers are not needed. Ink is sold by weight rather than
volume so the can size may vary.
Color samples are approximate.

A Hon Baren is the ultimate tool for
the serious printmaker. The qualities
of a Hon Baren are subtle, but once
experienced these baren are clearly
superior. Each baren takes up to a year
of intensive labor to create, requiring
the skill of a true master craftsman.
The 8-ko (strand) baren is the most versatile and come in three basic
textures: coarse, medium, and fine. 12-ko and 16-ko baren are designed
for printing large areas with thick pigment.
SPECIAL ORDER ONLY. At the exchange rate when this catalog was
printed, prices start at around $1000. Please call or email for current
prices. After you place your order, our price is guaranteed not to
increase. If the exchange rate improves before your baren arrives, we
will pass along the savings to you.
Standard Quality Baren
Disk Baren
This high tech plastic baren was designed
by the famous Japanese printmaker
Akira Kurosaki. The replaceable disc
has many small bumps on the surface,
similar to the points on a Hon Baren
coiled pad that apply pressure evenly
across the paper as you print. No bamboo baren cover is needed. Order
a replacement disc when the bumps on the disk wear down.
Comes with a sample of Camellia Oil, which is applied to the baren face
so it will glide easily across the printing paper.

Murasaki Baren
If you would like to use a professional
baren but do not have the budget for a
Hon Baren, this less expensive version
was created with affordability in mind.
It is made by a craftsman who also
makes Hon Baren. The core of this
baren is a hard, hand twisted synthetic cord that easily transfers pressure
to the block. Includes sample of Camellia Oil.

Standard Quality Baren
These baren are constructed of lacquered cardboard disks with bamboo

Ball Bearing Baren
These baren require only a minimal
amount of pressure to pull a print, a
definite plus if you print large editions
or if you are suffering from arthritis or
a repetitive stress injury to your hand
or arm.
Matte black, rubberized leather backs
up a cork disc with a perforated metal plate containing the ball bearings.
The thick, twisted leather handle is very comfortable to hold.
Cushioning keeps the ball bearings from rattling as the baren is moved
around. 378 Ball Bearing Baren approximate a 16-ko Hon Baren or a
coarse Murasaki Baren, and are designed for printing large, flat color
areas. 612 Ball Bearing Baren approximate an 8-ko Hon Baren or a
medium Murasaki Baren, and are designed for general printing, fine lines
and detailed areas. Includes sample of Camellia Oil.
Eventually the barengawa (bamboo
sheath) on a baren will wear out.
Takenokawa are difficult to find in
Japan, so ours come from China
now and they work fine. Complete
instructions for recovering your
baren can be found under "Basic
Instructions" at imcclains.com.

Akua PinPress
The Akua PinPress is perfect for the monotype printmaker who needs a
portable and affordable press. Works especially well printing with Akua
inks. The PinPress lets you create monotypes at home, in the classroom,
or anywhere you travel.
Designed specifically for monotype printmaking, the roller is precisely
machined to an incredibly even and smooth surface for uniform contact
between the roller, paper and plate. Durable all metal construction with
aluminum and brass bushings insures long lasting, trouble-free printing.
A6714
2" diameter x 20" long
Eliminates having to carve kento (registration marks) into the blocks.
Carve the marks into the "L" or use tape to make temporary
registration marks (see top photo). Place the inked block firmly into
the corner of the "L" and use the marks to accurately position the
printing paper on the block. Works best with blocks up to 12" x 16"
in size and 3/8" in height. Complete instructions can be found under
"Basic Instructions" at imcclains.com.
The inner edges of the "L" are beveled to keep ink from transferring
from the block to the "L." Available with the corner of the "L" on
the left or right side. The right side is more commonly used but some
people, lefties especially, prefer to use their left hand to put the paper
into the corner kento.
If you would like a different size Registration Board, we will be happy
to make it for you. Please allow one week for us to make custom
Registration Boards.
camellia oil
A drop of camellia oil applied to the sheath
covering a baren keeps it supple. Our
Camellia Oil is cosmetic grade, so it is also
good for your skin.
The oil also protects steel blades from rust.
Apply a small amount to the blade, especially
after sharpening on water stones or before
storing them for long periods of time.

Shipping Information
McClain's shipping rates are based on our actual cost from the carrier
plus a small packaging fee. If you wish to know the exact shipping
amount, please call, email or ask us in the box marked "Special
Instructions" in the online shopping cart and we will be happy to give
you your shipping options and costs after we pack and weigh your order.
McClain’s ships by either U.S. Mail or UPS. We recommend shipping by
UPS because:
• Packages that do not arrive on time are easily located through the UPS
tracking system
• UPS guarantees the delivery date and then delivers on time very
consistently
• Ground UPS shipping is usually less expensive if the package weighs
more than 4lbs.
US Mail cannot track packages that are still in transit and they have a
30 day waiting period before considering insurance reimbursement.
However, depending on destination, Priority Mail is usually less
expensive than UPS for packages weighing 4lbs or less.
If you are facing a deadline, we can ship your order by UPS 3-Day Select,
2-Day or Next Day Air. Please let us know if you need your order by a
particular date so we can let you know if there will be any problem with
your chosen method of shipping.
Shipping By A Different Carrier
If you wish us to use a carrier other than UPS or U.S. Mail, let us know
that you will be using a different carrier in the box labeled "Special
Instructions" in the shopping cart. Our normal packing fee will be
charged but you will not be charged for shipping. We will let you know
when the package is ready to be picked up. Send a request to your
carrier asking them to pick up the package using a return shipping label
(DHL calls this service "Pickup and Return on Demand" (PROD) and
FedEx calls it "Express Tag"). If you want us to handle the paperwork
from these other companies for you, there is an additional $8 handling
fee for this service.
Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii
Orders to Alaska and Hawaii are sent by Priority Mail unless you
specifically request otherwise. Please call or email if you would like an
estimate of the different shipping costs.
International Shipping
McClain’s frequently ships supplies to other countries. Recipients of
international shipments are responsible for all duty and taxes. Call
001+1+503-641-3555 to place orders by phone or order through our
secure website. We will pack your order, contact you with your shipping
choices and rates, and then wait for your decision before shipping the
order to you. For more information about international shipping, please
go to imcclains.com/internationalship.html.

The address is 1241 NW Johnson Street. Directions and a map to PNCA
are at pnca.edu. The PNCA library hours vary depending upon the time
of year; current hours can be found at library.pnca.edu.

the item until it is shipped and no additional shipping is charged on
backordered items. We automatically ship backorders that can be filled
within one month of the order being placed. After that, we will call for
your permission to send the item before shipping.
