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.
I discovered this by chance: Delving Deeper Into Our Visual Language. A mixed-media exhibition for inspiration. https://online.fliphtml5.com/vpxnw/yrzp/#p=1 You should take time for it. A rabbit hole: You find the links to many of the artists. @textilearts@fibrearts
Come to the Anarchist #DIY#publishing meet-up 10th of April where we gather around our book-info store!
We want to:
⭐ Generate a space where we can find reflection materials and editions (#books, #fanzine, #magazines, #pamphlets) that are an extension of the ideas and struggles in which we believe and participate.
⭐ Organize #workshops that actively encourage the do-it-yourself #layout, #printing and #binding.
#HP said in January that it hoped and dreamed to make #printing a #subscription. Now, the company has done just that, with the All-In Plan that allows HP customers a limited number of printed pages per month for a monthly fee, with a two-year commitment and potential overage charges, too. #printers
Recognizing the urgent need for #innovation in #BraillePrinting#technology, Song & his team embarked on a mission to enhance the quality & efficiency of #Braille#printing. Their research subsequently helped #revolutionize Braille printing & improved printing accuracy at multiple levels.
The new Braille printing technology has been promoted in #China to the forefront in the field of #GlobalGreen Braille printing
@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. #blockprint#linocut#traditionalart#printing#3dprinting
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! #print#printing#uni#studying#computerscience#tech
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 #OTD 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
Found this place pretty much by chance, but it was really interesting. It gives a great idea of the challenges of printing Japanese before advent of the computer age and desktop publishing (one needs to select from more than 2,500 characters!). We also did a fun hands-on experience printing color on a bookmark with a manual letterpress, and had coffee decorated with topical latte art.
This was a fun (and slightly frustrating) project I did back in 2014/2015 around the idea of digital fabrication to create letterpress pieces to print posters in a DIY fashion.
(I declared it "not a failure" because I learned a lot in the process.)
(And before anyone asks, yeah, I tried it through GNOME/the graphical settings app. This is the only thing that worked, using a legacy driver that I had to scroll though a list of thousands of entries to find in a – thank fuck it exists – legacy web interface from what looks like circa 1993, which I’m informed is not going to exist for much longer.)
Scribus, the free and open source page layout application (think Adobe InDesign) just had a big new release. I'd love to hear some real world usage stories by graphic arts/desktop publishing professionals that use Scribus on a regular basis. My time in that industry was so long ago QuarkXPress was the most popular page layout platform.

After a full year of not thinking about printers, the best printer is still whatever random Brother laser printer that’s on sale.
