Dry Point Part Two; Printing the Plate not as planned !

[@KathyBrooksArt]

Good to see how each one worked (or didn't) and the final one. Great print. Thank you.

Worth all the effort............ hope you took the plate through the press also. Liked the Dremel demo.

Having viewed the fully completed (press printed) result, it might have been an idea to initially print without scribbly background first. Perhaps following this, a type of background could be added. Regardless, your hand print effort -- with it being quite a larger sized work and unsuitable for hand print-- proved the better suited printing press. Great work though, epic patients used here.

I print intaglio pieces by hand without a press (no access to one). I just pulled a piece 27inx50in (69cmx127cm) by hand. paper slippage is a huge issue. I avoid it with either a few layers of news print paper over top the print paper. and on even larger pieces I have a felt blanket I put over it. this reduces the likely hood of slippage tremendously and allows you to use a larger baren. Ive even used a pinroller over newsprint and felt stacked on the print. loved the video!
