Applying Ink Tip
When I taught this lesson to my class at CMSE, we used a station format while they worked on another contour project. I was able to have 4 students print per day. This is a video of how I laid out the ink for them. They would then use a brayer to have the experience of spreading it out evenly. This also helped save on ink as I knew exactly how much to put out each time.
