On Tuesday I headed for the printing room thinking on how I could to get my prints looking good , preparation is the key here.. Thinking to myself this is rather like a ritual, I had my lovely new paper at the ready and being extra careful, soaking the paper for the right amount of time, and trying not to get any smudges on it, on go the plastic gloves now to ink up my etching plate, then carefully place the plate on the press, cover it up with the blankets and wind it through, then to carefully fold the covers back to reveal the plate and then peel it off the special paper, so what went wrong ? Everything ! Then it happened again arghhhhhhhhhhh!
