The reticulated wash process is relatively easy to do. I use toner (the black used powder from a copy machine) to make a liquid by combining it with future floor wax and rubbing alcohol. This toner liquid is then brushed on to a piece of drafting mylar and allowed to dry. As it dries, it creates beautiful reticulations. Oftentimes I will spritz the mylar with alcohol or water to further complicate the wash. Once dry the mylar (a film positive) is now exposed to a photo sensitive etching plate. Sometimes the reticulated wash is scanned into the computer for further manipulation before it is exposed to the photopolymer plate. I have been teaching this process in workshops for the last 8 years. Thanks. Brent
