Subject: Etching steel?

We're interested in finding out about techniques for etching steel plate.

I've heard about a "soft" resist that will take an impression and lift off.

What etching agents are available? What surface prep is reccomended?

Thanks for any info!

Rules!!!

I like a metal prep solution from DuPont that you mix 1:3 with water. 
It's about 10 or 12 bucks a quart.
