*How to ink the plate for both intaglio and relief and how to combine the two
*Which paper to choose and how to prepare them along with plate registration and good working practice in achieving a clean result.
*Printing with a press
*Explored different papers for Chine Collé and incorporated them into our prints (a process of adding colour to your prints through collaging paper into your print)
