Abstract
Devices and methods for intaglio printmaking on canvas are described herein. The devices and methods provide advantages that include permanent intaglio printmaking on canvas.
Claims20
A method of using a press to make an intaglio print on a piece of canvas, comprising:
- selecting and preparing a piece of canvas to receive an intaglio print;
- preparing a printing plate to make an intaglio print;
- preparing a press to receive the printing plate and canvas;
- mating the prepared canvas and the prepared printing plate together;
- providing at least one protective element for the printing plate and canvas;
- and
- applying pressure to the mated printing plate and canvas, wherein the pressure applied to the printing plate and canvas makes an intaglio print on the canvas.
4 more elements
A method of preparing canvas for making an intaglio print comprising;
- selecting a piece of canvas;
- applying a background coat to the picture surface of the canvas;
- preparing a waterbath in which the canvas will be placed by adding a stiffening agent to the waterbath;
- placing the back surface of the canvas in the waterbath that is prepared by the addition of a stiffening agent to the water bath;
- removing the canvas from the waterbath;
- and
- removing excess water from the canvas.
4 more elements
A roller press for intaglio printmaking on canvas, wherein the roller press applies sufficient pressure to a printing plate and a canvas to make a permanent intaglio print on the canvas, comprising;
- a roller;
- and
- a press bed, wherein the press bed is a multi-layered press bed comprising a top surface and a support layer, wherein the top surface of the multi-layered press bed holds the printing plate and the canvas during intaglio printmaking, and wherein the multi-layered press bed is sufficiently flexible to reduce the likelihood of cracking of the printing plate during intaglio printmaking and is sufficiently strong to withstand the pressures of intaglio printmaking.
