Preparation for the third wave of No Niquita linocut (hanged to dry), just 5 days before Municipal and Prefecture elections.
Finances: the second "No Niquita" wave, was printed with oil based colors (cost 'bout 4 euro per tube), what i did different this time was i bought instead a box of oil based blue color made for coloring wood surfaces indoors.
• Unfortunately, the color being more fluid, needed more attention, and a lesser quantity applied on the roller to protect the etched surface from being flooded.
• Another problem with the new color was that once printed the used materials needed much more effort to get cleaned, and there is a possible small hidden cost about it, more detergent or/and use of white spirit for instance.
• The good thing about it was, on the other hand, that you get the quantity of a small bottle of water in color with just 5 euro cost. Which is enough for LOTS of prints (and i really mean LOTS!!!!). Another good thing is that it dried in only 12 hours instead of the 1-2 days needed with the tube oil color.
• Final oppinion: I know i'll use it again... sure i'll use it again but with better timeline... its a pitty to waste the big ammount of time required for cleaning, to print only (as is the case) a dozen. It's good but for bigger quantities... depending the First Sunday's election's results, i'll might print a forth wave for next week, but surely in more copies... 20-30... to make it worth the effort.
OOOPS: On the left you can see some of the copies hand printed with the "N" upsidedown... wow collectibles : )
