<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 852364, member: 19065&quot;]Darryl, I&#039;m not sure how familiar you are with hand printmaking techniques but you sure look to be adventurous and into experimenting, which is a great thing! </p><p><br /></p><p>I hold a Masters of Fine Arts in traditional Printmaking and can help you with questions if you have anything specific, however there&#039;s much too much to attempt to type out here not knowing your set up and abilities at this time. </p><p><br /></p><p>For your consideration and perhaps to inspire further ideas about intaglio printmaking techniques, check out the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cJv9pln7kg&amp;feature=channel" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cJv9pln7kg&amp;feature=channel" rel="nofollow">Expert Village videos</a> on YouTube.com. There are several videos in the right column that feature press techniques, inking methods, and tools typically used. While these are all the formal approach of plate printing, you might find some ideas for bending the rules and pulling a better print from your cylinder by hand without the necessary pressure. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would be curious to hear how you applied pressure for these prints, as that and whether the paper you used was wet or dry greatly effects success. Another trick you can try is to wrap a very thin paper around the cylinder, fix it in place with a little tape that you can easily remove but enough to hold it there, then gently rub a graphite pencil over the paper to try to get a &#039;rubbing&#039; style image of your die image.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
