Print Class: # 6

Last night I ran some wood block tests on the press. I’d never done this on a press before and a few things are different. The pressure is different of course as the block is much thicker and you don’t need the blankets as the plan isn’t to press into the paper.

My block has a slight depression where I have to pay special attention to the inking.

I also tried a few more tests on the collagraph print I worked on last class. Once again the results are drying at school and perhaps I can pick them up tomorrow.
