Tutorial Process Video for the Polyester Plate Lithography technique. Really accessible process with just some extra time and ingredients needed Music by Venice by Gyvus / venice
Question 1: One fluid ounce is 0,0295735 liter - one cup is about 0,236588 liter - but this still also depends on the acidity of the apple vinegar. The German apple vinegar 5% acidity. What about the american one? Question 2: I have gum arabic in dried form, and it is more golden, food quality - would that work and how much do I need?
Hey Marc! Really nice video! Thanks for sharing! What kind of "polyester plate" is that? Any other names maybe for that material? Thank you, have a great day!
Anyone know where I can buy these polyester plates in Australia? I can only find them in the US, Blick has Pronto plates for 60c each but it's $68 for postage.
I'm in South Africa, and had the same issue. Look for the following... Mylar sheets Black plastic stencil sheets Xerox NeverTear All three of these are polyester paper.
I know the acidity of apple cider vinegar is lower than that of white vinegar (ACV=5% to 6% acetic acid and 95% to 94% water, WV=4 percent to 7 percent acetic acid and 93 percent to 96 percent water), but I wonder how critical that difference is. Thank you for the video, Marc. I do hope you can answer some of your fans' questions!
I think I understand now (begins typing third response in 10 minutes!): Citric acid is used in the inking process, and Apple Cider Vinegar is derived from fruit, not grain, as white vinegar is. Apparently, as explained in the link I sent, you can use citric acid instead of vinegar.

Good demonstration... thank you!

This has been an excellent video Marc - do you have a website with your printmaking on it?

Very interesting project! May i know where can i buy the polyester paper? Or any glossy surface paper can be used?
Marc thanks for the video - how long did you apply the heat gun for?

not one of 5 printing places would let me put my plate through their lazer printers.
Buy your own printer
Why apple cider vinegar and not regular vinegar?
