This is an ideal way of taking an intaglio print at times when one has no printing press.A nice impression of etching plates will be made by making a plaster cast of the inked up matrix. The sensitivity of the plaster material can capture incredibly subtle nuances and details in an image, and is particularly well-suited to images that have a wide range of values, meaning textures, deep bite etc This is a process that bridges the gap between sculpture and print.
