    Maybe Roger Bleile will know. But it's going to be difficult. The Pachmayr shop had many different engravers do work for them. They sent some guns to Germany for engraving. They also had visiting Japanese engravers and some resident Liege trained engravers do some of their work. But what...

    Darken background

    I have used Speedball Block Printers Ink for many years. Number 3550, Black Oil-Based Ink. And as long as it is allowed to dry and not absolutely immersed in acetone and then hit with a metal brush, it is very durable. There are different formula's of Speedball.

    Carbide Grinding Dust Collector for Power Hone

    I know this is an old post. But good Lord! No need for elaborate hoods that still have to be cleaned by hand or vacuum. And vacuum noise, whoa! All you need is one of those advertising magnetic calendars taped to the case side of the power hone with some shipping tape. They come free in the...

    Grs complicated

    Yes, unfortunately it has been hard to get a response from Ngraver recently. Ray Phillips is 95 years old and not in good health. His son Brian is now running the show but does not always respond, sad to say.

    Show and tell

    If you want a darker background you must keep the stipple point sharp. You will get a finer texture to hold the ink. I find cobalt M-42 best for this. Carbide chips too easily. Just my thoughts. But I like it like it is.

    Show and tell

    You have some used some very advanced techniques and artistry in the presentation of this scroll. Congratulations on it and your shading. You might consider using a needle point stipple and ink on the background if you want to darken it for higher contrast.
