WOW.. this is absolutely AWESOME... I studied Printmaking and I owned my own Wright Etching Press, however that press is now in storage. The idea of using water-based inks is GREAT. Perhaps I should get that small press you have in the demonstration. The Prints look very rich in tone. I am impressed.
