Making the copper plates

Today I went down to Vernon street to pick up my copper plates, they were soaking in a solution which I needed to leave them in until the blue film was removed.

I then washed of the solution in the sink, blotted my plates dry and I was ready to go!

I took the copper plates home so that I could line up the type in the correct place and mark it with masking tape so that I could position every other postcard in the same position when I came to press them all.
