Computer Lab orientation for my screen print class. Pro tip: disable color printing for deeper black transparencies. Never run anything that can melt through a laser printer. ie no acetate. we are printing on Casey's Translucency it's not very transparent but it's good enough for shooting screens and it's more affordable. tabloid is 11×17 but you will need your image to be a little smaller than...

This is a well explained video, but how do you layout, say a 24 page book with front and back side printing? What word processing program will work? In other words how do you actually print the text on the right side in a simple manner? Thank you in advance.
Love your tips but I couldn’t see the little trick for the corners…( your head was in the way of view).
It's because I am a beginner at making videos. Here is a link to a diagram explaining it www.deviantart.com/mouse2cat/art/Bookbinding-Tutorial-Covers-154466891
Perfect. I totally get that you were a beginner. Thanks for the link!
Enjoyed this very much! Thanks for sharing your lesson. You mentioned right at the very end that after this first print you might make some changes to the block before printing again. I'm curious if you clean the block up before reworking, and if so, what's your favourite method? The times I've had to do this I often need to throw away the next few prints because in cleaning ink off the relief I stain the negative spaces of the block and it shows up. I use oil and then detergent to clean; maybe I should be a bit more thorough 😅
In this instance I am printing my student's block. If there are only a couple of changes I would likely just carve that with the ink still on the block. It also helps you to see which spots are filling in. Before you smear the ink everywhere.
Kitchen oils never dry, so if it needs to dry you can use linseed or walnut oil
*promo sm* 🤪
I’m wondering how you could now alter the plate, after printing with oil based ink? Is degreaser enough?
The plate will be stained but It's pretty well sealed at this point. I could clean it up with some mineral spirits and make some changes if I needed. Mainly if I needed more light tones I could add another layer of medium.
If the paint is too opaque you then add more paint? What if it is too transparent though?
I need tone!!! Thanks for explaining. Cant wait for the explanation in class haha
As an experienced printmaker, I'm at a loss as to what is happening here.
It's a sort of faux aquatint using a collagraph technique. You glue down silk and then build up gel medium on the silk filling in the pores and creating smooth spots. Then you intaglio wipe it. I hope that's a little more clear...
When I need to do this I love to use: >Image >adjustment >threshold to very quickly get an image that is purely clean black line-work and white paper. Very fast and easy. Thanks for your cool videos!
I have done that before as well but often I want a little more control with a drawn image. Especially with light gestural marks I may want to include. Sometimes threshold will give more of a bitmapped edge.
@@hannahskoonberg it's true, it does give you a rough edge and less control.
exactly what I needed to know, thanks!
What is the difference between Collagraph Print and mono prints
A collagraph is generally a matrix that is made out of cardboard and found material. While a mono print is more like a painting that is then printed through the press. The mono print is a one off while a collagraph can be editioned.
Very interesting! As someone who is learning about conservation of works of art on paper, this is very enlightening.
Came here for a basic explanation of what an aquatint is - you explained that and more in an extremely clear, economical way with great visuals and flashes of humor to boot. SO easy to watch and learn from this. Hard to believe it's your first video. You also have a great voice, which goes a long way in making educational videos successful. Your students are lucky! Thanks.
Thank you ! Much appreciate how well you explained and demonstrated the techniques.
Interested in the printing is it going to happen.
oh my god i miss this classroom so much
very helpful and in depth! thanks hannah i really appreciate the vid
Hi, did you make a video to show how this plate printed? I so enjoyed watching the process and would like to see the end result. Carol UK
Hi Carol. I was just learning how to make videos >_< there is a link to how it printed in the comments.
I'm confused.Why painting on plate instead of paper. 🤔😅
With the plate your image is bit as a texture into the metal. This means you can wipe ink against the metal and print multiple of the same image. At the end of the day the plate is the tool and not the finished artwork.
Can you tell me what ink/paint you used for printing?
For this I used oil based printmaking ink. I don't remember exactly what I used in this video since it was print at home pandemic times. But my favorite black in is Portland Cool Black by Gamblin. I find etching inks print relief just fine and then I can use one ink for more printmaking processes. Clean by scraping as much as you can onto old newspaper wiping down with some veg oil and follow up with a household degreaser. Or if you ventilation is good a little gamsol will clean it up faster.
Thank you, this is very cool.
I appreciate your great attention to detail. No other demo explained how to get these corners so well fit. Thanks for the great instructions.
Wow! Those window blinds!
Great Video Hannah Thanks a lot for information
I'm a translator working on a text for an artist. Being a total newbie when it comes to etching, I came here looking to better understand the aquatint process so I can deliver a more accurate translation. Thank you so much for posting. Your video is helping me a LOT!
I don't know what language you are working with but one of my favorite terms is that the Spanish word for etching is "aguafuerte" which just translates to "strong water"
@@hannahskoonberg I translate from English to French and the French term is ‘eau-forte,’ so pretty much the same vibes!
Why did you not show the actual print? That would have been most useful to understanding the techniques on the plate.
I posted the final image in the description. I accidentally cut the video short T_T still learning how to make videos.
@@hannahskoonberg thx. The print came out great!
I think you should have found a way to show the final print. We felt cheated to go all the way through and not see the result.
Here is how it printed. drive.google.com/file/d/1IOVBk2bVzs5ROftkhoFANNkrmYVnisJs/view I made this video for my online printmaking students in the pandemic. The video is a little unfinished.
We moved to index printing from simulated process about 5 years ago. It creates better prints because the image is using a full dot and not a half tone which gives more of a muted color. Plus managing dot gain is much easier. Dot gain with a half tone can drive you crazy. One thing we do different is use an image dot size of 188. We use a blend of 225 and 280 mesh on each print.
Is this the same way you do simulated process prints?!
What is a simulated process print? Can you explain? This ends up looking more like a diffusion halftone but with more color control and the possibility of more layers
I would recommend a mask - that rosin can go down into your lungs -- and not a mask hung up by the aquatint box for public use like I've seen at all the schools I've been to
You are right. I didn't put one on because of the camera.
U mean THE CHINESE VIRUS CAUSED BY COMMUNIST CHINA 🇨🇳
Looks like a really cool setup you got there
Hannah I would really love to see this on eg BK Rives, put through an etching press.
Ah good call. I made this during the pandemic and the studio was locked down but maybe I could print it again now that I have access to a press again.
great stuff here. the planning of this is not easy. you explained it very good though. Thanks Hannah
What would you use as a fixing agent if done on fabric?
This process doesn't have a fixing agent like photos often do. Just the water and then it's fairly stable. But warning it will still react to detergents and stuff if you try to wash it. So it's not an ideal process for wearable fabric. But for fabric wall art you should be fine.
This was an interesting diy home version of collography, thank you! (I think you rushed those stripes. The angle was wrong if depicting a horizontal surface from that angle. I see mistakes like this alot on YT and guessing the videocamera tends to rush decisions.) Nevertheless good job with simple materials and techniques! 🙏❤️
I agree, I feel like I was more interested in showing my students the technique with a range of materials and making it feel less intimidating. The design... well it was full lockdown pandemic at the time so I wasn't exactly in the ideal frame of mind lol.
Where can I see the print from this plate, please? I was hoping to see it at the end of the video but... not.
Here is how it printed. It ended up printing much better relief than intaglio. Here is a link to the photo! drive.google.com/file/d/1IOVBk2bVzs5ROftkhoFANNkrmYVnisJs/view?usp=sharing
@@hannahskoonberg Thanks for the link. Nice work!
I went down a wikipedia rabbit hole reading about Goya's etchings and was having a hard time understanding the descriptions of how they were made. This helped clear it up. Thanks. Super cool stuff.
Goya's etchings are beautiful. You picked a very nice rabbit hole.
Goya used a lot of hand shaken rosin bag aquatints vs a box - gives it a starry look
@@inklayer1213 This is true. If you want that larger dot look I have had good luck with a spray paint aquatint especially as the can is running low. It looks textured just like Goya.
<3 !
Lovely to see the results is a good thing too ..
Beautiful . Explained well thanks ☺️ .
Very helpful thank you!
Very Magnificent print collections!! Love Koichi's work so much.. Does he have social medias?
I studied with Koichi as a grad student. His work is great but he doesn't post much on social media. He does have a website of his work here www.yamamotoprintmakin.com/
@@hannahskoonberg Thank you so much for the link. His technique is mind blowing
