| © linda germain 2013 small, medium and “large” gelatin plate prints |
It is hard to judge scale with online pictures so I laid out some prints of the size that I usually do on the right side, the ferns and the grasses. That way you can compare the 16 x 20 size of the prints with the figure.
Today I used the akua color inks. I found that I could pull several images from just one inking of the plate. That is nice because often the delicate light ghost images can create another level of interest in a gelatin monotype print.
Check out the flickr group and share some gelatin prints.
or if you prefer Facebook then like the gelatin printmaking page
and start a conversation.

Sometime I need to try the Akua inks.
They are a bit of an investment. I tried my 3 favorite colors yellow, blue and black. I still have not played with them enough. I need to get some of the akua intaglio as well. I think certain inks are good for certain weather, too. Nice to have options.
fabulous little tech videos- thanks! Love your prints 🙂
Linda, what did you use to make a larger plate??
