Chris, about your   question":
 One final question -> should all editioned prints be printed in
one session? Is it acceptable to print 25 prints (of 50, for example)

I understand that the 50 number can be your expectation to print that many, 
not necessarily what is already printed. So I would say it is acceptable

At San Francisco State we were able to print etchings on silk paper,
probably because they had the presses adjusted so well.  I guess the
thickness of BFK is an aid to a good print on those presses which are not so
finely tuned.

Just so you won't be disappointed:  AAAAACK! NOT SPEEDBALL INK? Barbara 
is right, it is less pigmented.  Just because Dan can get good prints 
doesn't mean most folks can and I still say: If Dan can get those 
prints with Speedball, just think of what he could get with 
professional grade inks!

For the record, litho or etching inks can be modified for blocks - a 
lot of us use them exclusively.  I modify with Graphic Chemical's 
equivalent of Miracle Gel and it is wonderful. I don't know who wiggles 
with joy more, the print or me, but we do have a marvelous time.  If 
you start with a high quality black it will be so richly pigmented that 
a little modifier will not lessen the strength or depth of color.

Subject: [Baren 21712] leather printing? 

Hey furry John, what ink do you use to print on leather? I have used acrylic
 paint brushed on woodblock or speedy-cut stuff and hand-printed on t-shirts 
 (which would probably work on leather) but just curious what you use.
best wishes

i use oil based  graphic chem ink.  I have been wareing the jacket with the 
leather print for more than a year with no ill effect on the ink or leather so 
it seems to hold up very well.. 

oops for the blank posts as i have a new computer and it does not work the 
same way as my old one and i am not a computer geek for sure.
