I replaced them now along with that wood.

It is about watercolor, but, of course, color transcends medium. It is a popular book, so may very well be in your local public library. Worth checking out.

I will have follow up questions in a day or so. This site is interesting.

This isn't exactly a photo-relief method, but one way to do text is with relief etching. If you print out your text on a laser printer you can just transfer it directly to a copper plate. The toner is acid resistant, so you can etch it as you would an intaglio print. You end up with a plate with raised text that can be printed as a relief.
