In 2009 retired printing plate engineer Skip Klepacki began collaboration with artist-printmaker-professor Dwight Pogue with the goal of promoting fine art printmaking using healthier petroleum-free, sustainable, bio-based and biodegradable materials. After much research and testing they developed a system of products that met their criteria for the highest possible print quality, improved health and safety in the studio, and environmental sustainability without increasing per-use costs. In addition to identifying appropriate household materials that ‘get the job done’, they offer the ‘D & S’ system of bio-based products at or near cost in order to bring these healthier and more sustainable technologies to printmakers everywhere.

Printmaking Revolution, by Dwight Pogue, is a studio textbook written specifically for college and university printmaking students to enable them to fully embrace the latest, sustainable, petroleum-free and biodegradable materials that comply with EPA and OSHA requirements without sacrificing the most subtle qualities of fine art prints. These materials perform as well or better than the hazardous materials they replace, and actually cost less in the studio because expensive hazardous material shipping charges and costly disposal fees are eliminated. Printmaking Revolution also introduces revolutionary and as yet unpublished techniques for lithography, intaglio and screenprinting, so that the student printmaker can easily and safely produce more technically professional prints. Several noted master printers have generously contributed their personal techniques. Numerous photographs accompany easy-to-follow steps for safely combining digital technology with traditional printmaking, introducing new and exciting advancements for students and professionals alike.
