St Januarius part 4

I went back to the Studio today to print the new Januarius block. The image has a lot of empty white area, which can make it difficult to ink- my brayer tended to put a lot of ink into those broad empty areas where it was unwanted. There's a simple fix for this, masking tape, but I needed to put down a lot of it today, as you can see in the image of the inked block. But it worked. I printed two proofs (bottom image), and left them in my rack to dry. So far, so good. Maybe I'll start the coloring later this week.
