The
seventh paint-out is etched for 64 minutes, for a total of 128 minutes. This
is the final etch on the first plate of this print. This plate is cleaned with
alcohol and kerosene. Three other plates are cut, filed, polished and cleaned
and the press is set up for the image transfer. |

The
first plate is inked and printed. The other three blank plates are run through
the press, each one passing under the print from the first plate. Ink from the
print off-sets onto these plates. The above print is the "Image Transfer
Proof" that has transfered its ink onto the blank plates. |

The
second plate after a 2 minute etch is done over the transfered ink, and the
plate is cleaned. This is the "ghost image" that will make it possible
to draw this plate in register with the first, "key", plate. The third
and fourth plates have similar ghost images on them, though they are a bit lighter
because less ink was left to be transfered. |
