Hi:
Found a reference to a website in the" Printmaking in the sun" book
To get a photogravure like effect they recomend a double-exposure
technique, where the plate is first exposed to a stochastic screen - this
likely has the same effect as the traditional ashpultum technique
The positive is then exposed on the plate.
Details here:
http://www.solarplate.com/double%20exposure%20gide.htm
They sell stochastic screens for $100.00. Anyone know of a way of making
them?
I would love to do printmaking again (took workshop _years_ ago) but I
don't have room for and don't think I can afford my own etching press.
Has anyone had success doing photo based printmaking as relief prints?
>From what I have read you can have some success making relief prints
without a press - or with a simple press.
Can you get something with reasonably good tones and contrast? This isn't
addressed in "Printmaking in the Sun
