There are many different ways to use your photopolymer plates (ImagOn, KM, Solarplate, etc). This includes a variety of methods of inking and printing single impressions, adding color and mapping for monotype underpaintings. You will learn about relief rolling, ‘A la poupe’e, duo-tone, and simple background printing and minimal chine colle’. Using the registration grid (recommended) on your press you will learn how to accurately align plates for multiple passes in a single composition. This program is filled with numerous tips on inking, wiping and registration that will significantly enhance your craftsmanship.
Note: If working in your own studio a press is necessary for the techniques presented and is not suitable for hand printing.
