Experimenting

I’ve been experimenting with a material new to me, Toyobo photopolymer plastic plates, to make my own stamps. It seems like a fairly easy process, but of course it isn’t. My first try (above) didn’t turn out as well as I hoped, but that’s life. It might have been the exposure time or maybe I didn’t get the optimum black / white balance on the negative. So I spent this afternoon trying out different combinations of exposure and curing times. I didn’t have enough time to print them – I’ll save that for the end of the week and see which timing combo works best.
