I hope they're useful for you.

But anyhow...I should be digging out those prints soon, so hopefully you'll see them next week!fingerstothebonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410312376236327398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34541283.post-24326333610526945612010-01-10T15:42:52.949-08:002010-01-10T15:42:52.949-08:00HI!

No rush if other things call. <br />For a relief process, it is the higher areas of the plate which get the ink. So, if the exposed parts are hardened and don't wash away, they are the printing surface. In a positive, it will be all the clear areas that are higher, and thus, printed. So, if I want to make a print that looks just like my ink painting, I will have to reverse it so that it becomes like a negative. Unless I want to think in reverse while I am painting! <br />Anyway, hope to see some of your final images when you get a chance.Julie Russell-Steuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05774498572665498130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34541283.post-47615075149918549002010-01-09T11:16:25.843-08:002010-01-09T11:16:25.843-08:00Julie,

I have been remiss in taking care of documentation.<br /><br />The relief plates were printed on an etching press w/ very little pressure -- no blankets just a heavy board. I think if you mount it type high, you should be able to print it letterpress.<br /><br />I think you can use your first, directly painted on transparency and not have to go through reversing and then printing out another transparency.<br /><br />I'll dig up my prints and try to catch up w/ the documentation. I was waiting for my prints to dry before I sent them through the scanner, but then I let it slip by.fingerstothebonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410312376236327398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34541283.post-5794141754898729032010-01-09T07:04:05.923-08:002010-01-09T07:04:05.923-08:00HI,

It is great how you devised these experiments to show what is possible with this technique. I would be using relief, with a letterpress process, so maybe it would be crisper that intaglio. I'd like to try ink painting on transparent media, reverse it in Photoshop, print out on inkjet transparency and then make a plate, or possibly just use the first transparency directly.<br />I don't see a follow up blog about your session. How did it go? Did you get good results, and are you planning on doing more of this technique? Any further pictures would be much appreciated!Julie Russell-Steuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05774498572665498130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34541283.post-17257637057760468762009-09-10T23:13:06.760-07:002009-09-10T23:13:06.760-07:00nice! and kudos to you for getting grant money to ...nice! and kudos to you for getting grant money to test all this out.gl.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03216590789836132321noreply@blogger.com
