John & I headed back to Frenchtown, NJ yesterday to visit Alan in his workshop. We learned a ton - like the term "frisket" - this little solution to the problem of inking on negative space:

After a few tweaks getting the plate to make an even impression, we were able to start printing - and printed a bunch of "Franks". Here's Alan inspecting our work:

Have a happy weekend.
