Hi,

I would like to know how to prepare the copperplate paper for printing my etching on zinc plate.

Hi Isao,

The Copperplate paper is basically unsized so requires very little water to prepare it for printing. DO NOT soak it.
Misting the sheet or dampening between semi-wet (not soaking wet blotters will do the trick as well. As always try a small sheet first just to be on the safe side.
