2. Qualities of Engraving

- reproduction
- precise lines
- aesthetically (craftsmanship)
- precision
- contrast in the picture
- precise use of the ink
- control of deepness of the lines

Reveal questions the the steady stage of printing. Prints normally have a fixed stage which doesn't make an interaction/ deep experience possible. The Hypothesis is the limitation of prints in the way they revealing as well as which material they use to make the print. The tableware makes printing a new experience while its revealing pattern from the food itself. Through intervening in the traditional method of engraving, I researched new qualities engraving the paper instead of the metal plate. Reveal showcases the whaterabsorbance of paper in an interaction of the bleeding into really precise lines: This process is a new solution in which we perceive the process of printing and how we interact with paper and ink.

Engraving (Printmaking)

1. Tracing the print
2. Waxing the Paper
3. Incising into copper plate
4. engraving with a burin
5. Inking the Plate
6. Wipping rest ink away
7. hand whipping the plate
8. Water the paper
9. Printpress the paper and the plate

Interventions

1. Folding the Paper
2. Mold the Ink
3. Engrave the Plate differently: 
3.1 Hammering
3.2 using a Dremel to make Shapes
4. different Materials lake tracing Paper, Fabric
5. Using Mold as an Object
6. Curved Mold
7. Chemical Reaction
8. Change Ink Mixture, using Silicon Instead
9. Color Mixing
10. Engrave the Paper instead of the plate

Formal Studies

1. Dollops of Ink on Paper
2. Working from the other Side to expand Ink flow
3. Mixing of Colors
4. working with Capillary Effect
5. other Material Veneer
6. Mockups Cabinet
7. Improve Controllment through Pretreatment of Water
8. Precise Cuts from both Lines
9. Making Grafiks
9.1 Revealing of the Grafik is huge Quality
10. bring in 3Dimensional Context of Tableware
10.1 Changing Ink Source
11. Plotter makes engraving digital(Strength)
12. Origami Patterns should interact with the foldings
12.1 How can I make Paper tableware fast? Mold or Folding?
13. working with inside and outside of the tableware
