Adonis Specimen: Cover Re-do

Using the new plate created at the correct width of the specimen, further embossing/debossing could be conducted. This process was much simpler than before as I had previous experiments to base the positioning of the plate in the press on meaning the cover could be created quickly (see figures 1-2). Placing the plate on the left allows the correct outcome to be present on the front of the cover rather than the back which was a common problem during the first set of experiments (see figures 1-2). Each piece of paper was soaked for 1 minute and immediately put through the press to avoid drying out as in previous experiments if the paper was allowed to dry slightly the printing process wouldn't be as clean. As a result of this multiple clean prints where created allowing for spare covers if the binding process goes wrong (see figures 3-5).
