Rudolph, explain your wooden printing press, as well as your
registration boards.  I saw the photos Bea sent us to see, but I have
some questions.  How does that press work?  Also, regarding the
registration board,  what are those slits in the narrow long boards that
surround the mother board.

Subject: [Baren 15614] new magazine 

Our own Arafat has started a magazine on the Print Australia list and it
looks pretty good. It is almost all up on the web, so go look at
http://www.freewebz.com/ipanews/serven/ipanewsartists/IPANEWS.htm This is  a
free site so ignore the advertising. Anyone who wants to contribute articles
about printmaking is encouraged to do so. They are still working out the
kinks of getting it all up, but all the articles are there.
Congratulations Arafat, for a job very well done.

Subject: [Baren 15615] Clear large areas 

Gayle,
I use a Ryobi dc 500 detail carver. It is a tool that does not work like a
rotary (a Dremel) but like a gouge. When the tip finds resistance it pushes
forward, therefore working like a carving tool. It is terrific, especially
for large areas and hard woods (or sprained wrists, like me now).
Take care,
Marco Flavio

I want to thank everyone for helping me out with my question a few days ago:

 > >Is there a photo-process relief printing material
 > >or method out there? Something I could use to easily produce type and
 > >other elements for relief printing? Look forward to hearing from you, and
 > >hope you have some good ideas for me!

You had some great ideas!  I followed up all your good ideas, and one 
suggestion led to another until eventually, one of the suppliers 
recommended I contact Rod Grantham at http://www.granthams.com  and 
WOW!  His company, Grantham's, sells a starter kit for making photopolymer 
plates up to 3/16 of an inch thick.  The kit includes a video tape, "How to 
Make Rubber Stamps", three ounces of liquid photopolymer, three 4"x5" base 
sheets (the base of the relief), post exposure powder, and a roll of dam 
(to keep the photopolymer from running all over the place.  They sell the 
starter kit for $59 -- US shipping included!  Rod tells me that you can 
assemble everything you need to make thick relief (letterpress) plates for 
less than $100 !!  And you can expose through laser-printed 
negatives.  I've ordered some material and will let you know how it works 
when it arrives.  This seemed to me to be the most efficient direction, by far.

Again, thank you EVERYONE for your great suggestions and assistance!

Mike
