If I actually soak it for 5 minutes and then wait for the sheen to disappear before printing, the paper accepts the pigment much more readily from the plate. (not necessarily a better result, depending on what you are aiming for) - Using a spoon to burnish, I go over the print 5 - 6 times, (vertical, horizontal, two diagonals, and circles) attempting to fully cover the print area each time. I got substantially better prints once I started to burnish more heavily and longer. - If I add gum arabic to either the surface of the plate or to the watercolour paint, the pigment appears to be more easily released from the plate. . - Some colours are more likely to transfer fully.

Then a blade or squeegee is used to pull paint or ink across the mesh. The medium seeps through the mesh onto the chosen substrate, with only the blanked out areas left clear.
