Using a dull pencil, or a retracted ballpoint  pen, design your plate. AS IF BY MAGIC, the areas where you push down  with your pencil are the parts that won't have ink on them. The more you  push down, the less likely they'll print with ink. I made parts of my  print kind of stripy by inscribing vertical lines, you can play with  different types of lines for texture. It's called a Releif print because  the ink adheres to the parts of the plate that haven't been inscribed.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E3. Using the second meat tray, squeeze a  blueberry-sized blob of ink on the tray, and roll your brayer (fancy  word for roller) over it \u0026nbsp;back and forth until the roller is evenly  coated. If you're using a rubber roller, you're looking for the ink to  have a texture on the tray similar to an orange peel, and when you roll  your brayer, it'll make a sticking noise that sounds like tearing paper -  that's how you know you don't have TOO much ink on the roller.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E4.

Print a test print on some scrap paper - place the plate paint side  down onto the paper - don't move it. Roll the back of your plate with  the second clean brayer, or a rolling pin. Carefully lift up the corner,  just to check and see if it's printing right (this is kind of like a  giant rubber stamp, right?). If you see areas that have paint in them  that you meant to be white, you can wash off your plate in the sink and  use your pencil to go over the areas that need to be squished down more.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E6. To do your final print, if you're doing a pattern  like I did, lay down some newspaper and simply tile your plate on a big  sheet of Kraft paper by putting the prints right next to each other -  Use waxed paper on top of your plate to keep your brayer or rolling pin  from rolling onto the wet prints you just made.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EKraft paper is great for printing on because it  absorbs ink so readily.
