First Monoprint

Here’s another way to add color to a pumpkin – combine monoprinting with relief printing. For this print, I prepared a .030″ PETG plastic plate with the same dimensions as my relief plate. I then painted orange and green Akua Intaglio ink onto the PETG plate and then ran both plates through the press. The color plate went first to lay down rough areas of color. The edges of the colored regions did not need to be well defined because the black relief plate which followed laid down sharply delineated areas of black on top of the colored ink.
