THE PEN PLACE™

Lithco first introduced "Correct-A-Plate™" deletion and addition pens for positive and negative metal plates over twenty-five years ago. We have tested many look-a-likes since then, but none have met the high standards of our originals. Now there are "Correct-A-Plate" pens for electrostatic plates and black plates, such as Silvermaster® and Megalith®. We have also broadened the line to include red and black opaqueing pens sold under the name "Correct-A-Neg™".

 HOW TO USE HONES

Dip the hone into fountain solution. Lightly rub the image to be deleted. Make sure the plate is on a hard, flat surface to prevent denting the plate. Finally, buff-out any light scratches with Lithco Pumice on a Webril Wipe, saturated with fountain solution.
