hi cat
printing is a lot like cooking
there is much you can learn from books,
but there is a lot you have to learn from the experience of doing it
i.e. doing a number of jobs well, over time
it also helps to have an experienced cook show you how to cook,
both different recipes and different techniques
controlling the amount of ink,
and getting the bedding right,
i.e. getting the impression pressure right
are two of those things where experience matters
even so, there are things in the two books,
i pointed out to you about inking and impression pressure that might
help
