Both Cameron and Anna have many years of fine art printmaking experience, covering the full range of techniques from lithography, etching, relief, intaglio, screen printing in addition to letterpress. Combined with and there are few things they haven’t tried and tested over the years.

With over 60 years of combined artistry between them, they continue to create and exhibit, both nationally and internationally, as independent fine artists.

beautiful bit of book history:

florid poem by Col. J. J. von Scheler in honor of the 54th birthday [when you're an enlightened despit, it doesn't have to be a round number] of Duke Carl Eugen of Württemberg
Small folio from the presses of Court Printer Christoph Friedrich Cotta the elder, Stuttgart

Among the beauties of traditional printing, as book historians know, are the distinctive character and robust materiality.
Note here, the tactile quality of the rag paper (photo 1), the deep impression of type and ornament (2) and the way the border is assembled from individual ornamental pieces (3)

@dbellingradt may appreciate this


@bookhistodons

small barely perceptible breaks in the ornamental border show how it was assembled from individual pieces of type

Tree at Gabriel Park, Portland, Oregon (2017)

Taken with a Bronica S2 camera and Fuji Acros film, printed using Moersch Easylith chemicals. I believe I used old Foma paper for the darkroom print, but I don't remember the specifics.

I only printed perhaps half a dozen (or fewer) images using the Lith process; this was the most successful one. I've always intended to do more. I love the way Lith prints look. So much texture.

Aww, much tessellated hug love this morning. Thank you.

It was such a small tweak to go from "this isn't working" to "oh, cute". This is why I try hard not to delete in frustration!

I would like to find somewhere it can be printed as a fabric on demand, once I've tidied it up a bit & tried some different colour combinations.

I've had someone suggest spoonflower.com so will check them out, but if anyone else has any others I would be happy to hear recommendations.

Thanks!

I'd rather go back to using a dot-matrix printer.

@rasterweb @3dprinting wow Pete, I’ve been 3D printing a long time but I’ve never printed finished things this thin before. The fit on my tabs were pretty great, only a few needed a swipe with a round file. Seems legit, I think I’m going to do some printing this week. Thanks! In the photo I’m just doing a fit check and dress rehearsal with some painter’s tape on the edge of my desk.

Somehow our uni printing backend turned my 6MB PDF into 10 GIGABYTES... How? I have no idea. I had my worst printing experience today and got home with only 80% of what I wanted to print out 💀 It works normally but today (after giving up on uploading and using a USB stick) I had my funds run out mid-printing, then after that had the color run out mid-printing and after that it said I have no funds even though I charged my account again!

My mom was having so many issues printing on her computer (Windows). I had her email me the doc, pulled out my computer (Linux), and immediately printed without any issues. This is how it begins!

German inventor and craftsman Johannes Gutenberg died in 1468.

His early printing process, and what texts he printed with movable type, are not known in great detail. His later Bibles were printed in such a way as to have required large quantities of type, some estimates suggesting as many as 100,000 individual sorts. In the following decades, punches and copper matrices became standardized in the rapidly disseminating printing presses across Europe. via @wikipedia

An early wooden printing press, depicted in 1568. Such presses could produce up to 240 impressions per hour. Jost Amman - Woodcut illustration in the 1568 book "Ständebuch", reproduced in "Meggs, Philip B. A History of Graphic Design. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1998. (p. 64)" At the left in the foreground, a "puller" removes a printed sheet from the press. The "beater" to his right is inking the forme. In the background, compositors are setting type.
