Thanks ,I am retired and restarted printmaking after 50 years , using my 3d printer I built one of the mini press and yes it works ok,I make all my plates on the 3d printer as well,now I have built one of your credit card slider machines however I had to deviate from your instructions ,I gutted the entire roller system and attached a 4 inch breyer minus its handle to the sliding head,also I used some 3.5 mm plywood to reline the bed ,for blankets I got some 1mm foam sheets ,now to make up some plates for this device and away I go . Again THANKS ...WCH

Thank you for these videos, I'm studying a BFA and hoping to major in printmaking. I am learning a lot that was not covered in my last module at UNI or reinforcing what I have learnt.

Thanks. I will make them longer, and I think I have on other videos.

I just found your channel as I am starting my adventure with printmaking and have been very inspired. I hope that you will make a video about composition layouts, as well as developing your own personalized content & esthetics

Hi Sarah. Did you use the Akua transparent base with the liquid pigments? (-: Marion

[@sarahwhorf]

I can't really remember. I think I had trouble with the trans base oil spreading into the paper. I might have just stuck with white to get the lighter colors.
