Has anyone tried relief printing blocks with V Carve?
There is incredible potential here for making posters, in 4 color since the screen angles, frequency and color seperations are possible with most graphic software and V Carve.

There is incredible potential here for printing posters, up to 4 color process since the screen angles, frequency and color seperations are possible with most graphic software like Corel Draw and Photo Carve to make the relief blocks. Is there anyone out there with experience in this area?

However i don't know anyone who has done this before and i don't quite see the point of it being done on a CNC?
but then i'm not an artist/printer.

As I am a printer with the wide format electonics and have some background in commercial printing such as letter press, lithography and such, I have been exploring the use of a cnc and Photo Carve/VCarve to make the relief blocks and then print by hand using traditional methods. I'm getting the impression that this may be a new application on some old skill areas.
Thank you.
