Finished print. Had a really rough time getting flat coverage, but over the course of the four layers I switched to a softer brayer and added a drying retarder – both of which I think really helped.

This is also 120gsm paper, I ordered some 45 gsm for the next one. Hoping that helps even more, since my test prints on newsprint looked the best.

Ultimately I think I’m in the market for a press. But trying to be patient and find something nice on the used market.

All told, considering it’s still only my fourth print ever, quite happy.
