Printing "Sunlit"
From inking the plate to the finished engraving.
Wiping
the plate with paper towels.
Here the plate is being wiped in a series of circular motions.
With each wipe the paper towel is changed to a fresh clean surface, until the
plate is cleaned down to the amout of ink desired.
At first you wipe a lot of ink off, then finish up with a light touch, according
to how much ink you want left on the plate.
Sometimes certain areas are wiped more, a cotton swab cleans small highlighted
areas that are going to be the color of the paper.
