    Thanks for showing this. I have a hand drawn three colour separated etching - using c m and y but without a black key - that I made in about 1978. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work.

    what a beautiful litho press? did you made it? I'd love to have more info about this press, thanks for sharing your process, greetings from Mexico!

      I did make this press! It is a little horrible. It leaks oil from the rails and the gears slip if I use too much pressure. I based it off of the old litho presses that drag the pressbed with a leather strap.

    Hi! for your 20 editions, did you change the inking counts towards the end? and did you experience any overinking from the stone which leads to the use of anti tint?
    And what paper did you use?
    Keep up the good work Nick!

    • @someprintdude
      @someprintdude  Před rokem +1

      For this print I didn't do any drastic changes to inking. I think the large rollout of my brayer and the relatively light image each layer made it easy to print. So I didn't need to use any antitint for this print. For paper I used scraps I had laying around, It was probably a mix of Arches Cover, BFK Rives, and Arnhem.

    How to buy this stone..?
    What kind of stone..?

    • @someprintdude
      @someprintdude  Před rokem

      This is a Lithography stone, it is mostly made of limestone. In the US you can buy them from print supply stores like Renaissancegraphics arts. My favorite thing to do is keep an eye out on ebay, thrift stores, and fb marketplace for a lithography stone as they might be sold at a lower price.

      @@someprintdude Hi Nick! Thank you for your answer. I work at the Faculty of Arts in Timisoara Romania. We have Litography courses with the students and we do only black and white, but sometimes we loose the finer grays from the drawings, they turn black. What do you use to keep the finer grays when printing like 20 prints?

    • @someprintdude
      @someprintdude  Před 5 měsíci

      There are a lot of variables that can influence that, some as small as temperature and humidity. Without being there to see all of the steps in your process I can't pinpoint the exact cause. Often times I find the biggest culprit to be ink stiffness, I usually add magnesium carbonate to my ink until it is stiff enough to be scooped up with my palette knife and if I hold it upside down the ink should not drip off the knife for at least 15 seconds. But if you have trouble rolling the ink out into a smooth consistency then you might have too much.
