Re: photo-acrylic question

Is the silicone plate lithographic? It sound like it is both lithographic
and slightly intaglio. Or does it etch deeply and the oil repelling surface
helps in wiping the intagio image? Do you roll on the ink as in traditional
litho roll-up, or is the plate inked and wiped as traditional intaglio? I am
also trying out the Polyester litho plates that image directly from a laser
printer and can be drawn on. There are so many new choices.
