Hi there! There are 4 reasons for faint or ghost prints: groves not deep enough, not enough ink, not the right paper or paper not wet enough, or not enough pressure. There is only so much pressure you can apply with a book press, fixing it to the table or an extension to the handel sometimes helps.
However there is a limit to what you can achieve with such a press. A hydraulic or etching press are definitely better options! Good luck! ^_^

Hi,
I love your tutorial and I have a book press like the one you have, so I gave it all a go. However i am only getting ghost images. I am applying as much pressure as I can but no luck. I have also tried more paint, thicker lines etc…any suggestions?
I have access to a hydraulic press, would that help?
Cheers
p.s Love your work.
