Hey Y'all! Just wanting to show what I am doing a bit in school right now.

This is a solar plate print for my printmaking class. [link]
Our teacher said we should try to use a photograph or some other digital image for our first try at solar plate, so I picked my Vivi image [link] since I knew it would have a good range of deep blacks and clear whites.

I also have two zinc litho prints I am working on, but they won't be done for another week or two, so you'll just have to wait!

Anyway, this is 5x7, on BFK Reeves and inked with intaglio ink.

PS. Sorry for the little bit of crookedness and blurriness in areas. The paper is slightly larger than my scanner @___@

Very nice! Your tonal range is impressive! I've used photo-emulsion covered Zinc plates before where I have to expose the image and then use a developing chemical, but not the solar plates. From what I read about the solar plates ou don't need anything but the sun and water, which makes developing much simpler. I'll have to look into purchasing some.

Yep! The process was very simple! And while you do need water to develop it, do not use water to clean them! It starts eating away at the plate. You just have to use vegetable oil and some sort of degreaser to clean it :)

Hahaha actually, i definitely worked hard on the original digital image of his, but really, the solar plate process requires so little work that i cant honestly say i worked hard on that aspect @___@. Outside of inking it anyway X3
