Spitting - We made CMYK polymer plates and but ended up mixing some to be very custom colors, and went through the colors in seven passes.
Pete- At the time Erik was still making large scale portrait paintings utilizing the CMYK system, so we decided to make a linoleum cut that would be printed from many blocks using the CMYK printing process. I think we went through the CMYK color palette twice as he reduced the blocks further.
