Splendid the dog can now see the rabbit.

Your first print looks just as it should !! maybe slightly thin but this is
proberly due to the fact that you are using the back side of the RC
paper.Which has no surface texture and therefore tends to print slightly
lighter than Yupo but at this stage it is of no matter.

There is a knack to rolling which will come with time.

Again don't worry to much about this. As you continue to print the offending
debris will just get lost in the print the process is self healing. If you
get big bits just prick them out with the point of a scalpel.

Don't be a cheap skate with your materials remember your time is the real
cost

Well done Loris,
