Printing Processes

Me applying ink to the dry-point plate.

When printing from my dry-point plates, I used a variety of techniques to produce prints that have different line qualitites to them. With some, I added a thick layer of ink and raised the pressure on the printing press to create a bold print where as for others, I applied a thinner layer of ink which created a lighter-lined print. The prints themselves were printed onto plain white cartridge paper so that I can work back into some of them with watercolours when they are dry.
