Beautiful print! Where do you get enviroboard? I’ve tried mag mix but prefer calcium carbonate powder which is cheaper and I think easier to mix into the ink. So the principle of viscosity printing is the loose ink goes down first and the stiffer ink goes on top? I’ve found this concept hard to get my head around! Thanks for your videos; they’re great!

Love it! I like the idea of using a more durable metal plate for etching, vs. plexiglass, but they're so much more $. What size is this? A 5x7" plate, which I guess translates to something between A5 and A6 UK, is $12 USD. Probably for professionals that sell their prints for a lot of money (not me, yet, anyway 😄), this is cheap. At any rate, I really like the design, and I look forward to seeing how it looks colored up and maybe a video of the process. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and holiday season 🎄
@CollagraphPrinting4 күн бұрын
Thank you 🙏 It’s somewhere between A4 and A3 size. It’s more expensive than a plastic plate for sure, I agree, so whilst learning probably better stick to that. Metal plates wear out too, they don’t last for ever. I like experimenting and trying out different plates materials. Video is going out live as we speak. Take care Sonya and have a wonderful Christmas 🤶 🤗

Thank you so much, it's so cute and the instructions are perfect. One thing I love to do is carve stamps. I've done almost 300 so far in just the last 3 months. (yes I have no life..lol) When making small stamps or cut outs, I draw them on the stamping material then I carve them, then cut them out. I learned that by poking myself with one of my really sharp carving tools...lol It's just so much easier to hold them that way too.

What an absolutely delightful print! I love the combination of techniques you've used here. I've been doing some small drypoint etchings and collagraphs with reclaimed materials (plastic containers and cereal box chipboard type material), and it didn't really occur to me to combine background relief and etching on the same pass through the press - duh! 😂 Thank you for the detailed explanation of the techniques and how you applied them (I converted a pasta machine I bought years ago and used maybe once into a small etching press earlier this year; his name is "Costello" and he is perfect for the 5x7" pieces I've been doing).

That's brilliant, pasta makers are great little presses! do you use anything for a blanket? Glad you found the video useful, hope you enjoy applying the method!

@@CollagraphPrinting Yes, it took a bit of work to convert it (removed the feet, and drilled holes in the base of them so it could be rotated, and screwed to an elevated plywood platform which allows the prints to be run through it like they are on bigger presses), but it was worth it! I was originally using a section of knit fabric from a t-shirt that was folded over a couple of times, but that was...suboptimal 😄. So, I recently bought some 1/4" and 1/8" synthetic felt from Temu, and used a strip of the 1/8" felt for the blanket, and it works great! I cut a piece of 1mm plexiglass that was in a picture frame to be the bed, and drew a 5x7" grid on it so I could center the plate and paper. I used double-sided tape to make sure the plate didn't shift on the bed since the bed is thin and flexible. Worked great! I bought the ~1/4" felt to use with the larger press I bought a couple of months ago. "Elvis" isn't a true etching press, but one of those 14" cold laminator presses that are identical to those sold by a company in the UK, Creative Printers of London. I can use him for relief printmaking as well. Anyway, I bought mine off eBay for about $57, including shipping, which was about 1/5th the price from the UK company. They are widely available on eBay through different vendors and are quite affordable. If you're in the UK, getting one directly from the Creative Printers shop would be perfect. Can definitely recommend the company I bought mine from if you're in the US, so you don't have to pay exorbitant shipping fees: www.ebay.com/itm/304730076243 I am going to buy this hand wheel accessory from Creative Printers, though - it would be a HUGE improvement over the tiny hand wheel that comes with the 14" laminator: www.ebay.com/itm/334709328347 Elvis obviously not going to provide the level of pressure (or last as long) that a real etching press costing several thousand dollars with a metal roller like yours gives, but he did work great on the first (and only, so far) collagraph print I made with him! I also made a presser bed from a piece of MDF whiteboard/blackboard I got from a hardware store here in the US, the Home Depot.
