Colin! Is there any inexpensive ways to do at least small Intaglio? I would like to try printing some pinhole positives using s9olar plates. there is a great book called "Printmaking In The Sun", which explains how to make very easy and inexpensive Intaglio plates using photopolymer water developed plates. Unfortunately, I don't have a press. I to have a small 1 ton hand Arbour Press. The arbour hoes up and down. I wouldn't even mind making 3x3" intaglio prints. Thanks Mac
