Hey John
What fun to see this. Thanks for the kind words….next time you will have to report from Tuktu as you try dragging the 1500 pound behemoth of a Vandercook out of the shop===GOOD LUCK!

Comment on Printing on an Etching Press by John Steins

I’m glad to hear that. Don’t give up. Actually the etching press distributes very even and controlled pressure as the roller passes across the block. The trick is to distribute this force across the width of the rollers so that all of it isn’t pressing on the block thereby risking damage.

You can make up a removable unit like the one shown to accommodate different sizes. Once it is set up you can print an edition in relief quite efficiently.

Your advice has given me heart; have had little success pulling successful woodengraving prints using my etching press I shall keep trying!
Thankyou Ingrid

Comment on Knotty Dog by John Steins

Definitely outside the comfort zone! Anyway, thanks for taking time to comment.

The image is about 10 x 15 inches and an edition of 25 prints. It’s been out of circulation all this time so I haven’t sold many.

Glad you like it.

Yeah…..mad ……..maybe they were frightened by it. It was probably way out of their comfort zone.
