Here you need a transfer process, the special edition can be used to copy paper will be transferred to the bottom of the plate and decomposition of the plate, you can also use a photocopier to talk about two copies of the draft were pasted on the bottom of the plate and decomposition of the plate. There is a left-right relationship between the artwork, and it is necessary to transfer the artwork on the reverse side. The transferred disassembled plate, according to the need to cut separately, and then spliced to the base plate, so as to form a different thickness of the base plate to be printed.

Step 3: topography: the base plate evenly coated with ink, covered with printing paper, carefully grinding top, or one side of the printing paper with paperweights and other tools fixed. Uncover the other side of the printing paper, respectively, on the base plate coated, covered with printing paper with a bottle cap or hand grinding hard to print. The color is transferred to the paper until our paper plate is complete.
