In this video I demo inking and printing a drypoint etching. I will be printing this image using a small etching press.
Supply list:

Your Image - either a drawing or photo.

Black paper or cardboard, I use to see where I've etched.
Paper towels or an old newspaper - used to. keep your area clean, apply the ink, and remove the ink.
