We had a great time printing Friday night! Here are the results--though I'm missing a pic of a white line relief plate (Angela, send me pictures of your plate and print once you get a chance to test it and I'll put it up). MAKEatx is interested in holding this type of workshop again. I'm all for it, because even though I didn't work myself and wandered around answering questions, I learned a lot from what was produced and printed. Next time I'd love to experiment with melamine and acrylic. (All photos in this post by Debbie Buie.)

Unfortunately I don't have a pic of a finished print to show you, but it came out beautifully. Debbie printed on dry paper using Akua Intaglio ink. Since there were no large white areas we only hit this relief plate with the laser 1x, and it printed fine with no hand work needed. |
