MXC screens ... and rotation

the reports of common cancels has dominated the koban repro-plate design and printing for some time ...
Kristian Wilhelmsen  began a cancel study in his 1981 study ... in 2003, the Endo-Koseki study was signifigant in extending this research ...   compiling and analysing the art-repros  is fascinating.

an important screen technique used by maeda - was screen rotation, or inversion ...   as a collection is formed,  the actual MXC set - or positions can be reduced by respecting serigraph screen rotation.
