    I used to work with print making at a letterpress museum and was maybe one of two or three people under 50 years old in my country who knew the craft. So happy whenever i see other people getting in to traditional print making. Would be awesome to see you carve some wooden type so you can print different words and sentences. I once spent around 2000 hours hand setting and printing a book in 50 copies. Lots of work but i am so happy i have a copy of the book in my book shelve now.

    Tip for printing an engraving: make sure you give your paper a good long soak, and get a THICK piece of sturdy (preferably real wool) felt. And remember to file the edges of your printing plate otherwise you'll cut through the paper.

    • @urituchmanpigeon

    • @eatenkate
      @eatenkate 4 года назад +6

      Yeah it's super expensive... Boesner has 'kupferdruckpapier but they only seem to sell per package', if you want to buy loose sheets just go to any art supply store and ask for kupferdruckpapier. Basically the paper needs to have fibers that are long enough so it doesn't fall apart when it's wet, or be so thin that the printing process will tear it apart. Standard A4 paper is exactly what you don't want - thin and fragile with short fibers.
