thought there was a number of reasons why i wanted to do dry point other than copper plate etching, there is a huge benefit to copper etching in that you can reuse and print the plate as many times as you want after the long process of making the plate. this is something i wish i had considered more when choosing what print process to use, as i have found my at a loss end as i have printed my plates too many times trying to develop a style/technique i want my finals to print like and the etched lines on the plate have been clogged up with ink, this is something that would not happen with copper plate etching as the acid eats away at the wax.
because i now have to pick from my experiment prints for my final resolutions, i am glad that i used high quality stock for all of the prints.
