I'm new to this and I always get smuding on my artwork, any tips for inking? Are your guides higher than the plate height?

Hi Eric. This is cool and want to try it at home! Is there a 'small-ish' pro-grade etching machine which you would recommend? I don't have a lot of room in my house. I would like to make 6x9 size cards. I see people using a plasticky die cutter/roller, but that doesn't seem adjustable or heavy duty enough. I appreciate any advice you could offer.

This is really awesome. I've never tried wood block engraving, but I enjoy drawing. Your video made it very simple to follow. Gonna try this weekend. Thanks again for the post!

I found the narration very helpful. If you don’t like it, there’s a little button that lets you turn off the sound. That may help you out.

It came out so nice! Thanks for the video. I'm taking history this semester and they didn't really explain any of the engraving ideas, so it was very handy to see engraving in action!

Hi, great video, really helpful. I want to try the ink you recommended, and I ordered some online from Graphic Chemical and Ink. I haven't received it yet. Is the company still in business? I've tried calling and emailing, to no response. Thanks again for the video!

Hey Eric, first off thank you for a great, well done, video and for taking the time to answer everyone's questions; it's very generous of you. I just bought a small, A3 size, etching press so that I can make letterpress wedding invitations for my sister and I was wondering, in your opinion, how crucial is the rubber offset printing blanket to getting good results and do you think another felt blanket would suffice and if not could you recommend any alternatives to the rubber blanket? Thanks again for all your time and effort!

I own an estate sale company, and was recently given about 100 beautiful prints to sell from an engraving artist (is that the right term?) who passed away 25 years ago. I knew nothing about the engraving process. Your video was a wonderful help in understanding the steps and the amount of effort that goes into creating the design and why each individual print has slight differences. Thank you so much.

HI! This video is SO helpful to me as I recently got an etching press and have been experimenting like crazy! This is the only thing I found on youtube that is doing exactly what I've been going for! Hopefully you'll still see this even though you posted 5 years ago! One question: do you reink your plates for each print or do you get a few prints from one inking?

Thanks. How to make a polymer plate.

@SkylineR33 3 жыл бұрын

We got a photopolymer plate from boxcar and our dick blick etching press is showing the edge/border of the photopolymer plate. We could avoid that by just paying extra for a larger border around our image but i noticed that your plate is barely bigger than the print and the line doesnt show up. It isnt pressure because even light pressure will still show the border. We use crane lettra 110# paper. Any tips you could think of?

@SpoffordPress 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! I have 3 tips: 1. If using a plate like the one in this video with a larger empty plate border around it, I adjust pressure and I use a plastic burnisher to rub the edges of the actual plate flat into the pressbed, getting rid of that slightly raised edge that makes the line. 2. I sometimes cut the plate to almost the edge of the image (makes it look almost diecut), then there is no blank edge at all to make that line. Works best with a solid image, like an animal or something, not so much lots of text. Or 3. I use painters tape and run it around the edge of the polymer plate. This makes that blank edge not so sharp, and can get rid of the line too! Good luck!!

Will this Acetone transfer technique work on lino blocks?

@SpoffordPress 3 жыл бұрын

Yes! Tried it a few times and it seemed to work well. Not sure if a lot of acetone could potentially "melt" the resin surface on the block so I did it quick and then cleaned up!

I am an engraver who mostly prints by hand but I think I am ready to bite the bullet and get a press. Would you recommend a Conrad press like yours if I am going to use it most of the time to print type-high wood/resingrave engravings (as opposed to intaglio prints or even linocuts)?
