Say you have red down and you're adding a blue layer... if red comes up on the block when you remove the sheet and the blue imprint is spotty, then the red layer is still too wet. <br /><br />Dry rejection... in my experience it manifests as a layer that just won't adhere or adheres in a spotty manner. If you're using oil-based inks you can add a little Setswell compound to your ink... but it's really an experimenting game that I'm not totally sure I've mastered. I also run in to problems with inconsistent paper, which I'm finding affects ink adhesion in lots of ways. <br /><br />It's a crazy old business.

That said... it depends on your ink and your climate and your paper and........<br /><br />If your previous ink layer is too tacky, the next color can lift it off. (Wet rejection.) If your previous ink layer is too DRY, you can get dry rejection.<br /><br />I'm using Daniel Smith oil based inks, which are lovely and contain no driers at all. I usually add a little dryer to speed things along in the later stages (colors 5 and up, usually) because I have had un-altered inks take more than a month to dry on the top layer. Not acceptable!<br /><br />Right now I'm lucky in that I can squeeze out time every few days to print, but that's not always the case. I did a print this size last spring and it took almost 2 months to finish. <br /><br />Have fun!Sherrie Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967844327055630854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-61107444121936437102009-07-29T10:22:37.550-04:002009-07-29T10:22:37.550-04:00I am new to printmaking, only been at it for one y...I am new to printmaking, only been at it for one year. I noticed that you print a new ink over another one about every 2 days. I have been waiting a week or more until the previous layer is no longer tacky. Is that necessary?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-24625199131529866392009-07-28T22:45:41.184-04:002009-07-28T22:45:41.184-04:00You go!
