I still haven’t perfected the inking of the wool. So far for my experimentation, I believe the best thing to do would be to ink it heavily, as it is difficult to evenly ink lightly. Then run it through the press a few times to get off the excess. Today I made the next 2 plates, but only had time to proof them once, and the first proof/print of photo-etching plates are like pancakes, not great, but they looked good, but slightly on the dark side.
The four proofs so far.
I have taken two of the proofs, and cut them down to each have a different size border, the first 2.8cm and the second 3.7cm. I prefer the second, with the wider border. It has more breathing room, where as the first seems a little cramped and tight.
