ACETATE PRINTOUT PRINTING
The other day, a colleague showed me a great printing technique and I had to try it out for myself! Using a laser printer to print out images on to clear acetate sheets (some adjustments are needed to get the desired ink flow) you can then use the printout much like you would a Lino print. Once the image is printed and carefully laid onto paper, I used the back of a spoon to help transfer the image. The effect produced is quite ethereal, I played about with the ink flow of the printer which produced a variety values from faint through to quite sticky and splodgy. Using images from my travels, I tested the technique out on a few different papers to see how they reacted with the ink. I love this technique and I found that even just placing the acetate print on to paper, and not transferring it, looks super interesting - I'll definitely explore this more in the future.
