Jane Adson's intaglio solarplate

Using an iceblock stick makes it easy to stir the jar of Akua waterbased intaglio ink then place a dob of ink onto the solarplate ready for the squeegee. As the ink does not dry in the air but dries in the paper its printed onto, extra ink can always be scraped off and put back into the jar.

Lay down the ink onto the plate.

Inking plate

The squeegee lays down the ink both ways.

Dry point plate. Drawn with a drypoint needle onto PVC plate by Jane.

Solarplate test plates.

These 3 test plates have all had different exposures of UV light with the grained glass image first, Aquatint screen second, and hardening in the sun or UV lightbox third. The change of colour of the plates is due to the varying times each plate had in the sun. (The sun was covered by clouds after the first exposure.)
