I always thought an aquatint will be richer than a screen. Thanks for
your info as it sounds like a screen will present more problems. I
have been using rosin after laydown and was starting to have good
success. Suddenly I am getting a grainy tone which I suspected was
from overmelting. As I cut the temperature I am now getting open bite.
