First test of the full print below
Next on the schedule is to correct some lines, broaden a few, clean up some stray marks and get ready to print the final prints.
My plan is to use the press to do the individual blocks as cleanly and boldly as possible. I really want to get the crisp black and white graphic look that the press allows me to print. Which i may not be able to achieve when i hand print the full print.
Once i get done with the individuals (most likely editions of 3-5 of each block) i will get ready to print all the blocks on one full sheet of paper. That i will have to do by hand, and experiment with the drying rate of the ink, if all goes well it should take me about five days to print the five blocks. One a day with enough time in between to let the ink on the preceding prints dry so that i can roll the paper to the next section. I believe that i will have enough paper to do two editions this size. A test and a final finished piece.
As you can see the other problem I'm facing is a camera that doesn't like to take clear photos in a moderately lit hallway. Hopefully i will be able to get better photos this weekend while I'm in the studio.
Little less than two weeks till the semester ends.
