16. Liquid-Aquatint-type
A method or adding rich black areas to any intaglio plate.
- This can be painted onto any degreased ImagOn plate.
- Mix Screen Filler and 220 carborundum grit together until it reaches the consistency of oil paint or thick acrylic paint.
- Paint it on the plate anywhere that you want a rich black.
- The plate can be left overnight to dry or it can be fast dried with a hairdryer. Fast drying can leave cracks in the Screen Filler which may or may not be desired in the frnished print.
- For more varied gray marks paint Screen Filler, without the addition of carborundum, onto the degreased ImagOn plate.
