Conrad 10" Levigator for Lithography Stones
The Conrad Litho Stone Levigator is an essential tool for lithography printmakers, designed to restore your litho stones to pristine, flat perfection. In the lithography process, precision is everything. Over time, litho stones develop uneven surfaces and imperfections that can compromise the quality of your prints. Or sometimes, you just need to remove an old image.
A hand-operated levigator is the traditional and most effective way to grind down and resurface these stones, ensuring an even, flawless surface for clean and precise printing. Having a professional, high-quality levigator in your studio is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your work.
The Conrad Litho Stone Levigator is engineered for durability and performance. Crafted from thick, 1.7-inch steel that’s precisely ground flat, it delivers exceptional accuracy in stone leveling. Five strategically placed port holes allow for even slurry application, ensuring uniform grinding across the entire stone surface. The large, ergonomic handle gives you a smooth, comfortable operation, even during extended use. For added versatility and longevity, the handle can be repositioned to balance wear on the levigator, ensuring years of consistent performance.
A 10" levigator is an excellent choice for medium-sized lithography stones, providing the perfect balance of coverage and control. Medium stones require a levigator that can handle their surface area efficiently while still allowing for precise maneuverability. The 10" size is versatile, offering enough width to make quick work of leveling and smoothing the stone without sacrificing accuracy.
This size strikes a sweet spot between compact levigators for small stones and heavier, larger options for oversized stones. The 10" levigator provides ample surface coverage, reducing the time and effort needed to grind and resurface medium stones evenly. Its manageable size ensures you can maintain consistent pressure throughout the process, avoiding uneven surfaces or dips that could impact the quality of your prints.
The 10" levigator is also ideal for medium stones because it allows for precision when working around edges and corners, areas that often require careful attention. Its balanced size makes it versatile enough to handle a range of stone dimensions, making it a staple tool for studios that frequently work with medium stones or a variety of projects.
For printmakers, the Conrad 10" Litho Stone Levigator offers the reliability, precision, and efficiency needed to keep medium-sized stones in top condition, ensuring consistent, professional results every time. It’s the perfect addition to any lithography studio.
