The course presents the learning of digital image processing to transfer it to a physical medium, which could be inked and printed. We will learn how to generate different types of positives (digital, manual and analog), the procedure for its transfer to the photopolymer film and the process to get the finished matrix for final printing.
Participants will have 2 matrices to develop their work (two copper plates 16.5 x 12.5 x 16.5 cm and 25 cm)
