Mylar Method Lithography: The Process |
|||
 |
1. The image is drawn onto tracing paper or mylar with a mechanical pencil on a light table. |
 |
2. The drawing is placed on a printing plate, in a vacuum table. Once there is firm contact between the drawing and plate, the bulbs expose the drawing to the plate. |
 |
3. The plate is developed at the sink |
 |
4. Black ink is rolled onto a glass slab. The image is wet with a sponge. |
 |
5. The wet plate is rolled with ink, then re-wet and rolled 2-3 more times to make the image dark or "up full." |
 |
6. The paper is placed on the plate. |
 |
7. A sheet of plastic is put on top of the paper and plate. Together they are run through the press. |
 |
8. The print is pulled from the plate. |
 |
9. Each Print is hand painted with lightfast inks and signed. |
