transfering the image---
Next Step: carefully place the inked and wet (thus, fragile) piece of xerox paper onto a glazed surface--a tile, in this case--and smooth out. You can also rub the surface with a blue rubber rib--gently, and with a little gum on it--since the paper has a tendency to tear.

Inking the print
The next step is the inking of the gummed xerox---(I'm using another drawing in this stage; you'll see both transfers at the end). The 'print' can be washed off inbetween inking by flooding the drawing with water into which some gum has been splashed in (about 1 Tbsp.). I find this easier to do in an old bucket, rather than on the table top.
