How to make a “Plate”

Print a manuscript as negative inversion on
the pink colored master sheet by using dry toner color copier or color laser
printer.
Put
color mode as M100%×Y100% as only red color will be shown.
Paper mode “Cardboard” or thickest choice in the box should be
chosen. It would not be successful if
contact of toner is not strong enough. If
your printer does not have “Cardboard” or any thick paper mode, put the paper
in between of carrier sheet and let it through the heat laminating machine to make
toner contact stronger. |

lightly rub off the printing surface with tissue paper which contains enough
amount of Piqua Remover to dissolve all other elements but not toner. |
