Process:
1) Drawing on the plate with a needle to cut through the acrylic coating and so expose the bare copper to the acid.
2) In the Studio.
3) Dipping the plate into the acid to bite the drawing into the copper.
4) Selecting inks.
5) Squeezing the ink into the bitten lines.
6) Wiping away excess ink from the surface of the plate to ready it for printing.
7) Tinting.
8) Wiping off excess.
9) Laying Damp paper onto the press.
10) Laying protective tissue layer.
11) The pressure of the roller press through the soft blanket forces the paper into the lines in an embossing action.
12) When the paper is taken from the plate, the ink is lifted from the lines onto the paper.
13) Half tones are made by spraying on an acrylic resist.
14) The droplets of acrylic protect the copper from the acid while the etched background holds the ink. Light areas can be made by painting onto the acrylic resist ground.
