Subject: [Baren 20268] Collaborative print progress... 

Printing on the Dave/John collaborative print is finally under way, and 
as I did last year, I'm going to try and post 'progress' images of each 
step, along with simple comments/explanations of what is going on.

The first step (key block) is done, and you can see it here:
http://www.woodblock.com/surimono/process/5/index.html

We proofed it at 35 impressions, so it's going to take a couple of 
weeks. I'm working with half of the edition - a batch of 120 sheets - so 
steps should be appearing on that page at the rate of two or three per 
day until it's done.

If anything isn't clear, please post questions, and either John or I 
will try to explain ...

Dave

Subject: [Baren 20269] Akua kolor 

georga, Akua Kolor is already dispersed like the Guerra pigments, but it also 
has other stuff in it like glycerine, etc so you don't need to add anything 
to it to print hanga-style.  I do still use rice paste on the block w/it 
though in most cases.  Akua Kolor stays wet on the block for a longer time 
than the pure pigment, if you use it on plexi for monoprinting it will stay 
wet a very long time (in case this info is useful for you, Charles).  You can 
also use it for roll-up on woodblock.  I have never used it on metal, I don't 
know what would happen.  Susan does have a water-based intaglio ink now too, 
though I haven't tried her latest formulation of this.  The first sample I 
tried was a bit weak in density, but she said it's better now.
Check out her website at waterbasedinks.com for more info-
best wishes

Yes, it rolls up wonderfully with a good roller. I find it works best on
glass or metal if I prep it the day before and let it loose a bit of
moisture.

Thanks, Robert. I could not find anything on your site referring to 
Lascaux. But I did a Google search and found their website, from which I 
found one distributor in eastern Canada.

Cheers .... Charles
