I then do a final wipe with newsprint - still wrapped around the eraser.  Learned this technique from a fabulous printmaker, Elizabeth King Durand!

Specifically for just wiping smooth areas of the plate, not adding an aquatint or other permanent manipulation to the plate.  I'm looking for more control over happy accidents rather than total control, if you get my meaning. Your input is gratefully valued.
