Thanks for watching, hit the thumbs up if you liked the video, and subscribe to the channel for more printmaking videos.
This is the basic setup to create a mezzotint, a form of intaglio printmaking. I cover the basic tools/hardware, as well as how to create your own mezzotint rocker jig (Jump to the 4-minute mark to see the mezzotint pole rocker).
Check out my website: www.diodepress.net for some examples of my work in mezzotint, and listed below are a few links for some background on what a mezzotint is:
