Drypoint Printing on Plexiglass - Cat Face

In this video I take you through the process of drypoint printing from etching your plate to pressing the print. I will be printing this image using a small etching press. Supply list: Plexiglass - cut to the size plate you want. Your Image - either a drawing or photo. An Etching tool - This can be any sharp object to scratch the plexiglass, I'm using a diamond tip etching pencil in this demo. I've used a pottery tool in the past as well as an Exacto knife. Black paper or cardboard, this is optional but a helpful tool that I used to see where I've etched Paper towels or an old newspaper - used to. keep your area clean, apply the ink, and remove the ink. Rubber Gloves Intaglio Ink - on this demo I use calico safe wash ink. Pre- dampened heavy Printmakers paper or watercolor paper - I spray each page with water and stacked them between damp folded newsprint to have them ready for printing. In this demo I use an etching press to print. Thanks for watching.
