away from the body.
"While the degree of pressure
exerted in mixing and taking
impressions is important, this
factor can be best determined
by experience and observation.
Plain impressions are made of
the finger, by pressing lightly
on the ink, and likewise on the
paper without rOlling) and are
more easily made than rolled
