Color Lithograph

For a color lithograph a seperate plate must be used for each color. In this particular print I used for different plates for the four different colors and then applied a chin chole starfish, which is a traditional Japanese print making process where rice paste is applied to the back of pieces of paper, placed on the plate, and then sent through the press where the paper is glued to the print and ink printed on it at the same time.

Intaglio

An intaglio print is created by covering a metal plate with a waxy substance and sketching the image into the wax. The plate is then placed in an acid bath. Where the wax have been removed the acid eats the image into the plate. The plate is then inked and send through a press transfering the image onto paper.

Embossing

An embossing is when you allow the metal plate to sit in the acid bath for several hours, creating large areas of metal missing where it wasn't protected by the ground. This is called open bite. Then you sent it through the press under very high pressure without any ink.
