Dry-Point Prints


To my delight, the majority of my dry-point prints dried clear and visible made up of strong, solid lines. Experimenting with the pressure on the printng press and altering how much ink I applied to the plate, meant I was able to find a good way to produce prints of this quality. However, not all prints were succesful. Some of the earlier prints from the smaller tile on the left didn't turn out very well. A thin layer of ink on the plate is to blame for the faint lines in the prints. Although, on the plus side, they could be used further If I worked back into them to create mix-media pieces.
