Liz demonstrated how to print using photopolymer plates. Her images are made up of ink wash drawings that she\u2019s resized and layered using Photoshop. Some of the printing ink has transparent medium mixed into it, which helps to carry some of the qualities of ink wash into the finished prints.<\/p>\n

In terms of printing, it\u2019s not so different from printing using copper plates, but the photopolymer plates feel more delicate. One of their advantages is that they don\u2019t need to be deoxidized.<\/p>\n

Both printmaking classes helped print the proofs today, and then tried to decide which image they want for the print they\u2019ll get to keep at the end\u2013a very difficult task.<\/p>\n
