Roll up the plate with ink. Place the cut paper stencils on top of the ink and place the print paper on top of that. Run the plate and paper through an etching press set at the right pressure. The first print will look like the one below.
I am working with a concept of ghosts and psychic residue for this body of work so I have chosen to continue printing the plate to get a "ghost" image. To make one I remove the stencils and print the plate as it is on good paper for a second time. Below are images of an original print and its subsequent "ghost" image:
And one of my favorite parts, the pile of used stencils I am left with at the end of the day.
