<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 852398, member: 19065"]That's a very inventive jig/system you set up! Keep trying ideas with it if you think you can improve on the results. Perhaps having the soft surface of cardboard underneath protected your floor at the expense of a better impression/transfer of ink. Also those Akua inks being water soluable are nice for clean up and are non-toxic, easy on the environment but may not be of a suitable consistency out of the jar for printing from your die. I don't know much about the inks they would have used in the era of printing from the die, but most likely it was a very thin, carbon-y, oil based ink, which may have been kept somewhat warm during print runs. Wiping with a talc-ed palm of your hand or a cheese cloth / tarlatan will really pick up the harder to remove ink from the flat/clean areas instead of transferring the ink to the paper. I'm very impressed to see what you've got going here![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
