Paper lithographs are amazingly simple to execute but the results are tough to predict. Basically you gum up a xerox, ink it and then run the inked xerox through the press. The paper xerox is your plate! Optimistically you can get 3-5 prints per paper\/plate. Each print is rather unique and thus paper lithos are something like monoprints. This image was created from a xerox of an <a target='new' href='http:\/\/invisibleman.com\/archives\/drawings\/000173.html'>old drawing<\/a> of mine. Also I must disclose that my instructor inked up much of this print AND inking up the paper litho seems to be where the real magic happens. One needs to have a soft touch and a keen eye to what the ink is doing to the paper and to the toner (which is receiving the ink) on the paper. Again: amazing! I am very excited about this process and look forward to experimenting further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The above image is a paper lithograph.
