In-process Printmaking

I have had very mixed outcomes with my pronto plate prints. The first few tests prints of the entirely blue french flag and the entirely red american flag came out very nice and clean. Then as I began to use the pronto plates more and more, they accumulated too much ink which resulted in a blurrier image and ink spilling over into the borders. I think that replicating my process numerous times could be interesting if I were to make small changes each time. I have thought about changing the direction of the flags, maybe the color, and even possibly adding another layer (presumably a Basque cross). For my end product I would really like to work on getting better prints like I had been doing at the beginning of this project. Being very precise and paying close attention to the detail I would like in my print will be essential to creating an aesthetically pleasing composition.
