Digital files to plates - Dianne Longley
These prints were made by scanning photographs and found images. They were collaged together in Adobe Photoshop. The files were taken to a film bureau where a film was produced using a stochastic screen (cristal raster/mezzotint) rather than a halftone screen. Thus, the tonal changes in the images resemble the continuous tone quality of a photographic print. By manipulating the exposure time, black lines can be wahsed out more deeply so that you can combine intaglio lines and continuous tone on the one plate. I am using Printight KM73 for these images as to date I have found that this plate works best for photographic works.

Hand drawn and computer generated images - Dianne Longley
These prints were made in 1995 for a folio The Golden Rose. The prints combine Traditional print techniques with digital imaging processes. Drawn elements were scanned and developed in Adobe Photoshop. The images were then taken to a film bureau and printed to film. The film was exposed onto Toreleif WS95 photopolymer plates. The plates were inked in relief inks and printed into Velin Arches 300 gsm paper. Small details in the prints were then hand-coloured.
