Re: polymer gravure idea



Susan,

I'm using an Epson 2200 with the new Pictorico OHP which comes on
rolls and I only let my negs dry for about 3 hours before I print them
and when I reprint them days or weeks later I get the exact same print
(as far as i can tell).

Hi,

I'm impatiently waiting for my OHP and aquatint screen to arrive so I
can start testing exposures and digineg output, etc.  (and I just
realized I'm supposed to wait 24 hours for the neg to dry
arrrrgggghhhhh ).

So while I'm waiting, I came up with a question for you who work with
this polymer:  Has anyone tried working on the plate after it's
exposed and hardened?  Is the material "carvable", or soft enough
(meaning softer than the steel tool i'd be using), to inscribe or
otherwise mess with in the way an intagio copper or zinc plate can be
done?
