Product Specifications

• Single & multiple colour printing: Follow the "How to" steps above to achieve your design. Experiment with different papers and printing inks. This example is a design drawn directly onto the foam and printed on black paper using white paint. You may also wish to hand colour the finished print.
• Print with multiple colours: Multi-coloured prints may be achieved by the reduction method. Draw lines on the printing foam where you want white lines and print with a light colour. Allow to dry. Add more lines on the foam where you want the first colour and print with a darker colour. Put in registration marks to correctly line up the prints with each colour.
• Chine-collé Printing onto pre-printed paper: Create interesting effects and depths to your design by printing on a variety of paper surfaces. Experiment with these backgrounds: Create a collage of torn tissue paper, use sheets of metallic papers, pre-printed papers or painted backgrounds to vary the results.
