Re: Somerset Satin for gravure
Keith, Good grief.... anything named "creamy french black" MUST be good! hehehe.... Sounds like it would go well with a nice warm scone :o) Seriously, thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely try some of those as the budget allows :o) Did I already mention I ordered some Somerset Satin... Looking forward to trying that. You said you like Hahnemuhle Copperplate for your personal work, and that it gives less contrasty results... sounds like one I should try also. My vegetable series all have very delicate gradations of tone like the radishes on my blog. They need smooth tones. Thanks so much for the help and advice!

I always have Standard Black, Intense Black and Creamy French Black (my favourite). Also, Sepia, Graphite and Dark Brown. The latter is a nice warm black and not to brown (unlike the Sepia). I normally use Creamy French Black and Dark Brown straight out of the can and tend not to mix colours. I tried the Stiff Black but didn't like it all - very stiff and hard to work with on polymer.

They have a ton of prinkmaking papers, and they're good folks. I also ordered some Charbonnel (sp?) black ink. Keith... what inks do you like for these prints?
