The analogue manga workflow

Before digital, every grey on a manga page was screentone: a printed adhesive film, cut to shape with a fine knife and burnished down with a spatula. Deleter has supplied that workflow to Japanese manga artists for decades, and many artists still use it for its look — real printed dots with a crispness that digital tone imitates.

How to use them

Lay a piece of tone slightly larger than the area over your drawing, cut around the shape with the Tone Knife, peel away the excess, then rub the remaining tone down firmly with the Hera. Use the knife tip to scratch away dots for highlights and soft gradations.

Honest Note:

The Tone Knife is very sharp and the blades are tiny — change them often, because a dull blade drags and tears tone. Keep the safety cap on. The Hera presses tone flat but will not fix bubbles under a sheet that was laid badly; lay tone carefully first.

Who is it For?

• Manga and comic artists working with traditional screentone
• Anyone who has bought Deleter tones and needs the tools to apply them
• Illustrators who want the precision of a small blade for paper cutting

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS (FAQ)

Can I use a craft knife instead?

Yes, but the Tone Knife’s smaller blade is easier to control on tight curves and for scratching highlights.

How many spare blades come with the knife?

25, stored inside the handle.
