Beet Print using Tetra Pak carton and pasta maker

Hello fellow creatives. Here is another experiment in printmaking using Tetra Pak as an etching plate and a pasta maker as a printing press. This time I had some difficulty with the ink bleeding into the paper in my second and third prints. I also tried printing onto a piece of gel print which I really wasn't expecting to transfer at all but actually did. I also experimented with using nail polish to try to create more texture in the plate but not sure how well that worked out. I like the idea of creating depth so I think I'll be trying some collagraph techniques next andwill attempt it on the Tetra Pak since I have accumulated so much of it. Please feel free to share any tips and tricks in the comments. Thank you so much for watching and please like and subscribe to continue following me on my journey!
Here is what was used in the way of materials in this demo:
