I nearly killed myself doing this, all to get an effect that you could definitely achieve in photoshop! Printing test numero uno. Having finished engraving the front cover of a copy of Vogue (graced by the gorgeous alexa chung - see previous post) I wanted to see if I could use it as a printing plate. I rubbed ink into all the scratch marks I had made and placed the plate on some paper upside down. then used a rolling pin to roll over the top and try and force the ink on to the paper below. Conclusion: there is a reason why people buy expensive printing presses.
