Here Crommelynck imparted another of his previously secret techniques to Hockney, how to use a single plate for multi-coloured etchings, rather than having to register separate plates for each colour. (Both this technique and the sugar lift were revelations for Hockney and proved essential to the genesis of his later 'Blue Guitar' prints).
