We just got a call this morning from David at Takach Press about a Nuarc plate burner that he found for us. The unit is a Nuarc FT-26 flip top with a mercury vapor light source. It’s a used unit in good working order, pulling a strong 20psi. We’re headed for Albuquerque later this week to pick the unit up…
The cool thing about printmaking is you don’t necessarily need a press to make prints. We still have a couple of weeks to go before the press arrives. I really felt like printmaking today so I decided to give my Japanese baren a try. Here we are with a lo-fi monotype made with water based ink on phone book paper. I mixed black and yellow ink, and using a brayer, spread the ink out on glass. I inked a piece of cheese cloth, and made several different impressions by moving it around on the paper. Pressure was applied by using a Japanese baren.
