Send Message: To this poster

Maybe I have an exceptional man. He is a good do it yourselfer. He moved
my press safely and told me the most important part is to be certain it is
well strapped down. He also moved a safe that must weigh a thousand pounds.
The thing is huge. at least 10 feet high and maybe 5 feet across, very
weighty. He used a fork lift and a rented moving truck and strapped it down
well, it never budged. I like the feeling of control myself and not handing
such a valued object over to strangers. These things do come apart to help
with both the weight and the height to make things more stable. Guess I
just trust us more than them. Good luck with the move and happy printing.
do let us know how that move goes.

John,
My exchange #19 prints are completed and I'm mounting them today. (I
print on very thin paper & mount it on a heavier stock.) Should be in
the mail to you by Friday.

Suzi,

As a relative newcomer to printing Moku Hanga myself, I wouldn't call what
you are doing "cheating". but I am curious. Do you ever have registration
problems after you have rewet a print in progress?

Better open 'em immediately to make sure that a) you have 31 prints b)
you have return label c) you have money for postabe d) prints comply
with exchange specifications etc. That way you will still have time to
correct problems!

Send Message: To this poster

Gayle,
I may be the exception to the relief printmakers Barbara knows, but I
do not like working with litho inks, I prefer to use etching inks and
modify with Miracle Gel Reducer, only I use the one from Graphic
Chemical now and can't remember what it is called. The ink flows
better, prints more evenly, doesn't discolor as readily, and dries
faster. What is not to like? (I am not a fan of Setswell, could you
tell?) I've not had any problems of it coming through the paper,
getting on my baren/blankets, whatever, but then I have not used
Kitikata that I can remember. I always print with damp paper because
it just seems to accept the ink better and gives me those luscious,
juicy, remarkable, wonderful, blacks we all love so much! And a nice
crisp line. Love those, too.

Happy Printing,
Sharri

David Bull got a very nice write-up today in the English language version
of Tokyo's "Daily Yomiuri" Newspaper -- you can read all about it at
http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/newse/20040121wo64.htm -- in part it announces
David's 15th annual print exhibition which opens on Thursday at Gallery
Shinjuku Takano in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo and runs through Jan. 27.
