Last week I printed my small collograph plates, at first inking them up as if they were etching pates so that I could get an intaglio result. I also used this in conjunction with a relief print by layering two colours on a plate before printing it. One colour was for the first intaglio layer and the second lighter colour was for the relief layer rolled over the top of the plate before printing. I am really pleased with the results now that they are dry. I am especially pleased with how the two-toned prints turned out, as the layers of colour give the resulting image more depth, and these prints seem to be very coherent with the idea of creating an illusion of depth that a viewer can involve themselves in when looking at them. At this stage I have printed them as a number of long series on long strips of paper, and some on smaller paper to then be cut up and moved around. I now hope to create another series with one print plate occupying a whole page, so that the print becomes isolated and a separate piece of work in its own right in addition to being part of a series.
