Adventures in Hectography

So I'm trying to figure out this whole hectography thing.  It's a print made from a gelatin plate, the idea being that if you were going to publish plans on how to break out of prison so that you and your accomplices were on the same page (so-to-speak), you could do so using only materials from the commissary and no electricity.  Lo-fi printmaking.

I'm having a hard time and I suspect that I'll get it right just in time to get thrown out of my studio for the summer.  And that is all I'm going to say about that.
