Ada Lovelace – Laser cut letterpress

6826914281 E85880B590 Z

Ada Lovelace (Intaglio).

A large format 8×10 acrylic plate intaglio test using the Speedball black ink on card stock. The expanses of solid color are difficult to fill cleanly; perhaps cross hatches would be better suited for the intaglio printing process. The image was commissioned by The Ada Initiative and created by Colin Adams. Here are more details on the how the plates and prints are made.
