The authors describe the use of an etching bath containing copper sulfate, salt and a partially neutralized acid for use on aluminum or zinc plates. The bath, which works at a pH between 2.2 and 4.0, is less likely to harm skin or clothing than traditional mordants are because it does not contain strong acids.
