How to Navigate aquatintbox.com for Model Details, Safety Info, and Contact Options
Updated
aquatintbox.com is the site of SCHWEDE L.L.C., the exclusive provider of professional rosin boxes (aquatint boxes) designed by Mark Johnson and Matt Schwede, with equipment used in universities, artist studios, and commercial presses across the U.S. and Canada. To find what you need, use the top navigation: Home, the three model pages (ABS Model, ABM Model, ABL Model), Features, Safety, Testimonials, The Idea, and Contact. Model specifications live on the individual model pages, safety information is on the Safety page, and inquiries go through the Contact page.
Find model details
The site lists three models, each defined by the maximum plate size it accommodates:
| Model | Plate size supported |
|---|---|
| ABS | Plates up to 12" x 16" |
| ABM | Plates up to 18" x 24" |
| ABL | Plates up to 24" x 36" |
Start from the model whose plate range matches your work, then open that model's page in the navigation for its details. If you are choosing between sizes, pick the smallest model that covers your largest plate — for example, a studio working mainly with 12" x 16" plates fits the ABS, while a shop running 18" x 24" plates needs the ABM.
The homepage also shows an image labeled "ABM and ABM Cabinet Stand," indicating the ABM is offered with a cabinet stand option. Confirm current configuration and availability details on the ABM page or by contacting the company, since the homepage excerpt does not state pricing or what is included.
Check safety information
Open the Safety page from the main navigation for the safety-related content the site provides on its rosin boxes. Read it before setting up or operating a box, and treat it as the site's own guidance rather than a substitute for your institution's or insurer's requirements.
Review features and background
- Features — the product characteristics page, useful for comparing what the boxes offer before deciding on a model.
- Testimonials — user feedback; helpful context, but weigh it alongside the specifications on the model pages.
- The Idea — background on the design and its originators (Mark Johnson and Matt Schwede).
Contact the company
Use the Contact page for questions about models, the ABM cabinet stand, availability, or anything not covered on the site. The site does not publish pricing or ordering terms in the available material, so direct inquiry is the reliable route for purchase details.
