Well the colour is better, but something weird happened. If you look closely it has a mottled effect. Now if I'm honest I quite like this, but the thing is I don't know how I made it. My only thought is that it happened because I mixed up etching ink with relief printing ink. It was an accident- , the tubes look much the same. So the white kink has driers in it, and it might be this that caused the specking.
This is only a single plate, where I have applied the ink into the plate, and then rolled colour over he top. It has however been etched twice, as it was rather boring when I first took it out of the acid. Again the pressure of the press is a bit much, so next time I print this I'll take one of the blankets off the top as I've been printing on a press where the pressure can't be varied any other way.
