No need to resin unless they are processing stone (calcium carbonate or limestone) - plates of metal such as aluminum - steel, copper and zinc - no need to resin - Dwight
You wouldn't rather do cycles of 100, 180, and then 220? To me, doing them all while using an alkaline cleaning abrasive would compromise the plate further. Though it may not have been on hand, an Acetic acid or citric acid counteretch could have been used ad then doing the grit cycles perhaps? All in all, it's a good and well-instructive video. I love lithography among other methods of printmaking.
Chris, Thanks for the suggestion. It works for us, although you could try different cycles and methods. You very well could find a better way that works for you. Our hope is that printmakers will try this and improve upon it and continue to make prints using safer materials. Citric acid is good as an etch and relatively safe.
So if you do toner washes do you have to heat them up? Is there a much more economical way of heating up plates from home? Other than the oven.
thank you..!
👍👏👏
No resin after talc? Interesting

Where can I buy a Century Plate?
