We have dubbed our press; [</B><B><U>NightSHIFT Press.]</U></B><B>  </B></div> <div> <B>H</B><B>ere is a sample of some miscellaneous new works hot off the press by Barry Peterson.  In this sample you will see one and two run Xerox Transfers on the etching press--some are from the San Joaquin / Sacramento River Delta Project, which is a work in progress for the two artists--more on this later.  With the two-run prints, we make tonal separations of the original drawings with the Xerox machine and mix up two colors of ink, one for each separation.  Then we run the print paper through the press twice, once with each color.  Registration is as always, a bit tricky.  But sometimes even the slightly out-of-register prints turn out pretty good, and sometimes the better for it.  It really depends on  the choices you made in making the tonal separations, and the inks you assigned to each separation.  We have experimented with 3-run prints (3 separations), but we begin to lose clarity in the imagery and the graphic "punch" we like.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="2c2b0670.jpg" border=0 width="432" height="359" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <I>Delta Terrain  [BP]</I></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="2c5b0640.jpg" border=0 width="432" height="356" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <I>Delta Landscape-II </I></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><IMG SRC="2fd7d940.jpg" border=0 width="381" height="404" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <I>Water </I></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><IMG SRC="306c2720.jpg" border=0 width="450" height="370" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <I>companions-10 </I></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><IMG SRC="2f73eb00.jpg" border=0 width="318" height="432" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <I>Extrovert </I></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><IMG SRC="34ca4c00.jpg" border=0 width="420" height="448" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <I>2 </I></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="copper_plate_etchings_from_nightshift_press.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Night Shift Pressetchings"><U><B>Next Page; Copper plate </B></U></A><A HREF="copper_plate_etchings_from_nightshift_press.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Night Shift Pressetchings"><U><B>etchings</B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </BODY>
