13. Construction
Intaglio-type
This is a new technique
where pieces of IrnagOn are added to the plate and either
developed and exposed together or separately. This provides
a very creative way in which almost any plate can be
explored.
- Any plate can be
reworked with pieces of ImagOn film provide the 'carrier
plate' is free from grease.
- Cut pieces of ImagOn
film to desired sizes.
- Separately remove the
peel-back layer from the film.
- Position onto the
carrier plate and rub with your thumb and a dry cloth.
You are basically pressing and rubbing each piece of film
on to the plate.
- Make sure you do not
overlap one piece of film on to another. This can be done
only once the top Mylar is remoyed from each piece of
ImagOn film.
- Once all the pieces of
film have been stuck the plate can be covered with a
larger piece of Mylar and run through the etching press
to help the smaller pieces to stick.
- The ImagOn plate can be
built up with a layering procedure that can create what
simulates a 3D topographical map.
- Before developing the
plate remove the top Mylar layer from each piece of
ImagOn. Do this by catching the edge of the Mylar with
the blade of an Exacto type retractable cutting
knife.
- Development can be done
in a tray with the normal soda ash development or it can
be developed by brushing the developer onto the
individual pieces of ImagOn film.
