This sweet little print is all roulette work, no lines. This particular print is a bad pull, though: note the crease running along the right edge, up into the white border. My acetate template shifted and pinched under the roller! I have a color layer yet to add, so I have some delicate problem-solving to do regarding registration. #drypoint #artinprocess #printmakingproblems #emeraldprintexchange https://www.instagram.com/p/ByUAJDqBx_U/?igshid=1jgxrj3j4slmf

Yes, dummy, you should wear protective gloves when removing permanent marker stop-out with rubbing alcohol. #etching #printmakingproblems

What you see are re occurring, non specific marks appearing in the printing process of this plate.  There are three examples above.  I’ve adjusted the direction of the plate in relation to the press bed, i.e. having the plate enter horizontally or vertically, depending on the sketched notes on the photos, and decreased the pressure but the marks keep appearing.  If you have any thoughts on whats causing them please drop me a note.  

The plate is an ImagOn photo polymer plate, printed with Akua carbon black ink onto Hahnemuhle Copper Plate.  The paper is quickly dipped in water and the blotted till an even dampness.

I have one month until SGC. Which means I have three weeks to come up with at least 5 new prints. I think I can do this, I just gotta believe. And pray to the acid gods.
