And it works the other way too ... knowing when
'enough is enough' - too much pigment can be just
as detrimental as not enough. In much ukiyo-e work,
the black outlines of the prints should actually be
a deep grey tone. The older print on the left has a
much too strong 'contrast'.
And the purple colour shows many white patches -
evidence of weak baren pressure during the
printing. The one on the right, printed more
recently, shows much better balance and smoothness.
