Product Description
Traditional mould made fine art papers are torn from the mill, while
wet, resulting in a rough, softly ripped look that is favoured by many
artists. Achieving this look with inkjet prints is difficult, however
it can be done. What you need is the Dual Edge Ripper. This is a
gruesome looking plastic ruler with irregular jags on it with which you
tear the paper, resulting in a very impressive approximation of a true
deckle.
If you want to get even closer to the true deckled edge look, you can
do so by slightly wetting the edge of your paper (dip the edge for
about one second in water or use a moist sponge, you will need about 2
inches spare space around your print - one inch for the border, one
inch to rip. Don't let the water wick its way any closer than 1cm to
the actual print! After the rip, press the print edge for some time
between layers of absorbant paper).
The dual edge ripper comes in a 24" length. To tear anything longer than 24", just move the ripper along as you go.
