Printmaking - Intaglio & Linocut Prints

Over the course of my time at SCAD, I've gotten the opportunity to take two printmaking courses, one of them being Intro To Printmaking. Below are the intaglio prints and linoleum cut prints that I produced throughout the course of that class.
These are the linoleum plates used to print my linocut project. I chose to print 3 different color combinations, and the print paper was dipped into alcohol inks and dried before printing the image on top. 
Although the registration wasn't perfect on these, I think that linoleum cut prints can often benefit from a little bit of overlap, as the image itself tends to already be a little scratchy and "unstable".
This is my intaglio print project, which was produced by scratching into a copper plate, and then rubbing ink into the plate surface and then printing it. This is a work in progress shot of the first "state" of the plate.
This is the finished image from the first state. For the second state, we had to essentially scratch up the entire plate surface until the original image was gone, and then create a new image. The second state was much more difficult, as it was hard to see the new lines being made through the old ones.
The final second state image.
