Thank you! I actually use dry point everywhere on the plate: it gives richness and spontaneity to the drawing.I usually do it fist and than do the etching.(up to 6 stages of etching).If I got it right from my personal studies of a book and a lens , this is how Rembrandt worked on his etchings.

Ah I see.

I,actually, use sand paper to take away the barbs after working with a knife on the plate, this way they do not fold in after printing, and the grooves from the dry point stay in good shape for an edition of 70-100.

Exactly. But the lines are much more gentle and livelier.

Thank you for the kind comments! I have a small portable printing press it does not require a lot of room.You can get a used one for little money on ebay. Everything is not very complicated as it seems. All you need is a very big desire to make etchings and a little money of course

You're welcome. Maybe in the future, when the kids are out of the house.....for the time being I'm hooked to paper and pen.
