Conrad 12" 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 12" levigator is the ideal tool for working with large lithography stones, providing the surface area and stability needed to efficiently resurface bigger stones while maintaining precision. Large stones present unique challenges in terms of weight and size, requiring a levigator that can evenly distribute pressure across a broad surface without sacrificing control. The 12" levigator is perfectly proportioned to meet these needs.
With its wider grinding surface, the 12" levigator allows you to cover more area with each motion, significantly reducing the time and effort required to level and smooth large stones. This efficiency is especially valuable in studios where productivity is key, as it minimizes the physical strain associated with preparing larger stones. Its size ensures consistent pressure application, preventing dips or uneven surfaces that could compromise the quality of your prints.
Despite its larger dimensions, the 12" levigator is still manageable enough for precise handling, allowing you to work around the edges and corners of the stone with confidence. It strikes a balance between performance and control, making it versatile enough for a variety of large-scale lithography projects.
For artists and studios that regularly work with larger stones, the Conrad 12" Litho Stone Levigator is an indispensable tool. Its robust design and efficient size make it the perfect choice for maintaining flawless surfaces on your most ambitious projects.
