Printing At Vernon Campus.

We went down the Vernon to ask a few questions about what they do and this is the answers we received:

Monoprinting:
You can cut out shapes and stick them on to card 
Or you can draw into the ink to create a one off print.
You can run materials through the machine, which gives a nice effect here are a few example of what I like when researched into monoprint:



Dry Point (Intaglio):
Plastic plate: cut into the plastic plate and the make lines & then ink the lines.
Linear work: physical scraping into plastic get a furry fluffy edge because of the burr.
This is not a process for a difficult print.
Here are some prints I found using dry point that I like when researching:


Etching:
Only scratching a varnish not a plate.
More crisper lines & can work with tone.
Hand draw it & photo etching using photo polymer to expose the digital print it needs to be laser printed out.
You only have to expose for 18 minutes in chemicals for a photo etch.
Here are some prints I found using etching that I like when researching:


Lino:
You cut into lino with special cutting tools and create a pad to ink with you need to do this in reverse.
Here are some prints I found using lino print that I like when researching:


Collograph: 
Use of cardboard - sticking things to it with different textures to create different effects. For example sandpaper and tipex.
Here are some prints I found using collograph that I like when researching:



There are two types of prints:

Release & Intaglio

Release is rolled and is prints such as monoprints, lino and woodblock.

Intaglio is dry point & etching.

Collograph does both of these print types.
