Todays experiments began by diluting some etching ink with white spirit. By pushing the ink around a plate and mixing certain areas with the white spirit more so than others I was able to create these washes.
They printed really well and were full of texture and detail. It seemed a shame to leave them as they were, I decided to develop the idea further.
I applied the same technique to some of the large wooden type in the letterpress studio.
I was pleasantly surprised with the results and decided to combine both of my experiments together.
If you like the look of this technique and would like to have a go for yourself, get down the print room and see Christian.
