Test print for my neon "B" - 8x8
I've yet to print unmounted linoleum on my etching press and recently made up a registration jig for unmounted and ran a test print today. I used blue because it's easier to see and I wanted to see whether the pressure I had it set at would create a good solid layer of color.
The pressure is pretty close, but not quite there. The far left edge of the image is the tone that I'm looking for. It's lightens a good bit in the middle and the right edge wasn't underneath my plexi so it didn't print hardly at all (due to lack of pressure).
It's a good starting point for working with unmounted lino.
