Great demo, Holly, It was super clear and really articulate, and you made it feel simple and straightforward, which is a special skill in your own right. I'd like to learn more about the types of small printing presses and costs, please.
Thanks Holly! Excellent info, but most people don't own a press or have access to one, especially in these COVID times. I've had pretty good luck with hand printing using the method you've shown for incising and inking. I added some Akua Mag Mix to the ink and that seemed to help with the hand printing. I sure wish there was a Handprinted in the US, where I am!!
Idk if you still need the information but I use the Caligo ink and it works great for me. Depending on the tube you might want some ink modifiers though

Oh fantastic!
What a beautiful doll! Her big clear eyes are a pair of windows to Heaven! Thank you doll for your instructions!
I found that alcohol marker to tone the plexi before etching helps to see the marks. It remains transparent too.
Great tip!
Great video thank you. Can you do this kind of printing without a press?
Presses produce best results but you can get some prints on thinner paper (like Shoji) and a spoon.
Hi Holly, thank you for lovely video ... I have Caligo safewash ink, can I use that? I also have Caligo oil based ink.

Is plexi glass an alternative for making a plate ?
Yes, if it will go through a press
Does the final print feel rough to the touch? Let me know thanks.
No, the final print feels smooth
Also, what is "drypoint plastic"? I know Akua makes plastic plates. And what brand are the etching needles you have in your shop?
Drypoint plastic is a plastic we sell that we have found is ideal for drypoint printing. The etching needles are Abig
Where can you buy drypoint plastic in U.S.A? And what is the brand of this drypoint plastic?
Beautiful baby. Too bad you were busy with useless things!
