Drypoint Printing on Plexiglass - Cat Face
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- In this video I take you through the process of drypoint printing from etching your plate to pressing the print. I will be printing this image using a small etching press.
Supply list:
Plexiglass - cut to the size plate you want.
Your Image - either a drawing or photo.
An Etching tool - This can be any sharp object to scratch the plexiglass, I'm using a diamond tip etching pencil in this demo. I've used a pottery tool in the past as well as an Exacto knife.
Black paper or cardboard, this is optional but a helpful tool that I used to see where I've etched
Paper towels or an old newspaper - used to. keep your area clean, apply the ink, and remove the ink.
Rubber Gloves
Intaglio Ink - on this demo I use calico safe wash ink.
Pre- dampened heavy Printmakers paper or watercolor paper - I spray each page with water and stacked them between damp folded newsprint to have them ready for printing.
In this demo I use an etching press to print.
Thanks for watching.

A lovely print!! Good technique. TFS!!
Thank you!
very beautiful I'm interested in trying. there is a technique with burin. oh can the technique be for someone's portrait? Have you tried?
Yes I have. Here is a link for a portrait done in this method. ruclips.net/video/M_cobDYCKVs/видео.html
Does the final print feel rough to the touch? Let me know thanks.
No, it does not.
@@starlustudio1498 which intaglio printing give the rough to touch feel? Is it all depends on the print quality or the plate must be copper.
@@cryptochampion3836 The scratches that hold the ink on the plexiglass are not deep like the copper plate that has been acid etched. No dangerous chemicals are needed with this technique.
Please could you let me know what paper you use? It’s choosing the correct paper and how long to soak it that really cause me issues when learning different printing techniques, mainly collagraph or drypoint. Such a lovely print and great process video.
I like Stonehenge Watercolor paper best because it handles the dampness well. I also use a heavier grade of printmaking paper sometimes. I spray both sides of my paper, stack them on top of each other and let them soak in a "wet pack" while I prepare my plate for etching, for at least 10 minutes. Leaving them longer won't hurt anything. You want your paper very damp. Then I use a dry paper towel to "Blot" the paper right before I use it to print. This takes off then excess water that may cause the ink to bleed instead of print. It should not be dripping wet (shiny), just damp (will look like a soft sheen). The paper may buckle as it drys. I place my mostly dry prints under a stack of heavy books to flatten them out. I hope this helps.
