Photo-Polymer Etchings

A new series of Limited Edition prints which, combines the beautiful old printing technique of etching, with photography.

Modern technology has made it possible to transfer highly detailed photographic images onto a metal etching plate by the use of a light sensitive emulsion. The plates are subsequently inked up and printed onto Arche Aquarelle Watercolour paper using a traditional roller press. The resulting prints are rich in tone with the deepest, sooty blacks, which are set against the off-white paper.  During the printing process an embossed mark is left by the edge of the metal plate around the image. This frames the print nicely for signing and editioning.

The series includes both single plate Black and White images and 1 colour print which require x4 CMYK plates to be printed over each other to make the final image.

All prints are signed by the artist and editioned 1/15.
