How Do I Produce an Etched Print?
- Scratch an image or design into the surface of a plate
- Apply colour by rolling ink onto the etched surface
- Wipe the surface, ensuring only the ink is collected in the scratched areas
- Carefully place your paper directly on top of the inked sheet
- Apply pressure (preferably using a press) & lift the paper
- Voila, an etched print!
