Dispatches from the frontlines

I also had a lot of success using registration tabs and plate fixture. Previously I was outlining the plate on a hinged registration sheet which I made and attached to each print separately. Although it wasn’t the most precise method, I was still able to achieve good results. Registration tabs and pins seems to be incredibly easier since I won’t have to line up the print and plate each time. They also give a higher degree of accuracy that I wasn’t getting before.

I spent some time continuing to experiment with Kozo for my relief prints. I appreciate the crispness my prints seem to attain from this paper. It seems to absorb the ink very well. I used rice paste to chine colle the Kozo onto a heaver paper with success. I’m really impressed how well the richer cream color of the thicker paper shows through the thinner Kozo.
