After the perspex is covered in ink you the use a scrim to wipe away excess ink on the surface making sure you use your free hand as a barge for the perspex and keep rotating. Then you take a small piece flimsy paper and wipe across the surface to make sure that the non scratched surface is clean.
Once you have covered the perspex in ink you then take a thick piece of paper and place it into the water bath. once the paper has soaked in the water you the place it on a standing piece of plastic to let the water drip off the edges of the paper. You then place the paper into two sheets of thicker paper and cover with a heavy plank of wood. When the paper has been left to dry for a short amount of time you can take it out from the two sheets of paper making sure that the paper is no longer shiny from the water and only damp.
You then take the paper over to the roller press and and place a scrap piece of paper onto the metal part of the press. you then place the damp piece of paper over the scrap paper to trace the outline. Then you place the perspex on top of the scrap paper so you can position it for where you want the image to appear on the damp piece of paper. once you have selected the position place the damp paper over, then on top of that a piece of tracing paper and on top of that three layers of quilted fabric. After pull the wheel and the metal roller glides across the quilted fabric and your perspex. Once the roller has gone across the perspex you pull back the quilt and peel off the tracing paper from the damp paper, then you can lift the damp paper off of the perspex to reveal the image.
