The Neptune

Description

To make the print I first used the photographic technique to separate the gray tones from a negative in 35 mm format, printing on a photomechanical film, in this way using different exposure times I obtained 3 high contrast transparencies or pure blacks; then with the latter I prepared 3 screen printing pictures with which I printed on as many zinc plates with a special enamel resistant to the bath in nitric acid. After carrying out a simple flat etching, I proceeded to inking the plates and to print on Rosaspina Fabriano paper.
