Take a moment to review the accompanying photo and detail. This exceptional tool delivers top-quality results. The tiny bubbles on the top of the handle result from the glassmaking process and should not be considered a defect.
 
In 2013, Matt Bagley designed the Print Frog® Glass Baren™ to print large editions on warped blocks without aggravating repetitive strain injuries. Fellow printmakers, quickly saw the value in his product and started asking for more. In 2014, Matt refined his design and made the Print Frog available to the printmaking world.
 
As well as printing, it can be helpful in paper-making, for chine-collé, heavy folding paper, tagging paper for registration, and anywhere you need an extremely clean weight. It effortlessly prints on mulberry and Kozo-type papers and works on various substrates such as heavy etching paper, vellum, copy paper, transparent silk, and more.
