Laser Print Etching with SiliPaper

SiliPaper is what this printmaker calls the silicon-coated paper backing that comes with many self-sticking products such as label paper, mailing labels, etc. He prints an image from his computer with a laser printer (ink jet won't do) and hot presses it on a copper etching plate. It transfers and the black print acts like a resist to the etchant, whichi is ferric chloride. By the end of the video, he's ready to print.
