Laguna Mission


This is a bromoil transfer about 7 x 7 inches. Dark brown lithographic ink transfered onto 300 lb Arches watercolor paper. Two impressions.

Ernest,

Does "two impressions" mean that you made two prints, or that you printed the same negative twice on one sheet of paper?

PS: Beautiful picture, as always!

Thanks Marco. Marco I am printing from a positive. I used a big neg to make a positive. I process and ink a positive now called a matrix. The inked matrix is placed on watercolor paper and run through a press. Two impressions means I ink the positive again and place it in registration on the first one and run it through again. Usually for me to get enough ink in the shadows I have to make two impressions.
