They were printed on Masa paper. The problem with photolitho is that they don't ink up quite as quickly as drawing litho plates - and if the ink is to thin certain areas fill in too fast. So I think this is a pretty bad print because there is way too much contrast and some of the delicate values did not come out. I'm going to be printing on Okawara which is a better paper. I'm hoping it picks up more detail.
This week I'm planning on layering a lino relief in the background before my final printing (thanks for the suggestion Sam Levy!!)
