Behind the scenes

WATERLESS LITHOGRAPHY

  As a hand-pulled print, there will be slight variations, making each print unique -- a wonderful characteristic of printing.


With Waterless Lithography a key plate is made by drawing an image on the aluminum plate using water-based materials.  The plate is sealed with silicone, processed, then cleaned.

A brayer is used to apply ink to the plate.

The plate is placed on printing paper on the press bed and run through the printing press.

As a hand-pulled, limited edition plate, there will be slight differences.
