Each copy of the numbered artist edition of the La Pelote album "Step Inside" by Music Apartment, limited to 20 copies, consists of a specially folded artist paper measuring 100 cm x 70 cm with an original etching by the artist and label owner Edeltraud Steurer.
Etching (in German "Radierung" from the Latin word "radere", meaning "scratch, take away, remove") is a 16th-century graphic printing process used in artistic printing techniques. The image scratched or etched on a printing plate made of aluminum or copper (copper engraving) is printed with high pressure on artist paper. For example, the copper engravings by Albrecht Dürer and the Vischer engravings with views of Austrian castles from the 17th century, which are still popular today, are well known.
The etching for the artist's edition is based on the regular album cover. An aluminum plate was used as the printing plate. The technique used is drypoint etching. The drawing is scratched directly onto the printing plate with an etching needle made of the hardest steel.
The ink is then applied to the printing plate, penetrating into the furrows. The plate is then wiped so that the paint remains in the grooves. In addition, the plate is painted. Therefore, each print is unique and of course signed by the artist.
The inked printing plate is placed on the printing press. Moistened artist paper is placed on the printing plate. Then, due to the high pressure of the printing press, the ink is sucked out of the indentations and grooves and appears on the printing paper.
The special Artist's Edition contains the Gatefold-Cover of the Re-Release, a black Vinyl with white label, a promosheet and a sheet with description of the creation process.
