Am all for 0 toxicicty and I want to experiment with larger prints. By the way, have had no trouble with smearing of the laser ink on either wood or lino. Hope you give us a peek at the print you are doing for the Indianapolis Art Museum.....your work is always inspiring.

I happened upon this accidentally, and it makes a nice embossed line. Maybe you can adjust it to meet your needs. I was having trouble getting several intaglio plates registered and needed to work super fast, so I cut holes in matboard where I would drop the plates. When I ran them thru the press a nice embossed bead was produced around the plate instead of the normal plate mark. Everyone wanted to know how I got that marvelous line. If your image goes to the edge of your block this might work for you, too. It is certainly easy and fast! Just cut a piece of matboard larger than your paper, then cut a hole in the matboard as close to the size of your block as possible, using a utility knife - not a beveled cut, and then drop your block into the hole, place the paper over it in the right place, and run it through the press, or if you don't use a press, burnish by hand. Good luck, let us know what works for you, and your prints are lovely with or without an embossed line. And, Maria, Boy, am I glad I busted my whatever to get that puzzle piece in on time. Droopy socks! My God, woman, you are brutal. Sharri ------------------------------ End of Baren Digest V24 #2387 *****************************
