Today I inked up the perspex. If you can get your hands on a set of disposable gloves for the inking process, use them. I firstly cover the perspex in ink. I then got some scrim and I careful started to rub it off, when the perspex started to come clear again I used newsprint in a circular motion and I removed the rest of the ink on the front and back of the perspex until it was clear again. I gave around the edges a quick wipe with tissues.







ready to be printed


You are to have your hands clean when you are handling the wet print paper.  I placed news print down on the print press, I placed my images on the newsprint and then the inking paper on top of the images, I put more newsprint on top of this. This is to protect the blanket. I placed the blanket over them and I put it through the press. I was very happy with the finished product.
