‘Pizza wheels’ be darn

I just finished printing this image on a 13×20 inch sheet of watercolor paper on which the image area was gold leafed – perhaps I should have waited for thing to dry just a bit more before I started printing, hmmm…

Anyhow, as anybody who has done this kind of thing before knows, the ‘pizza wheels’ on the printer can drag through the wet ink surface of the print, and make these notifiable straight lines you see on the left hand side of this print.

I do think I can probably spot it a little to make the marks less noticeable – I am not willing to ‘disable’ the ‘pizza wheels ‘ on my Epson R2400.  Actually I don’t mind them all that much, they simply show the ‘process.’

Photographing or scanning my gold leaf prints is pretty tricky.  In this case, I think I have come pretty close to what the actual print looks like.  I am very satisfied with it.

The original image is a recent one, titled “Screen Door.”
