PHOTO-POSITIVE LITHOGRAPHY


A very simple and relatively inexpensive way of transferring complicated imagery to paper or material. All you need is a black and white positive transparency which may be made on a printer or photocopier. This is then placed between an ultraviolet light source and the light sensitive litho plate. The plate is exposed to the ultraviolet light and then developed. Once the plate has been rinsed and dried it is ready to print. Here are some examples produced by students using the Printmaking Workshop.
