Re: Intaglio on other-than-metal plates

Using mat board is essentially the same thing that I
do when relief printing cardboard. When it comes right
down to it, you can say the following about print
making:

As long as you can get some sort of ink (dye, pigment,
whatever) to stick to some sort of object and then get
the ink from the object to stick to some sort of
surface, you can make a print.
