screen printing continues The Deadline arrives

Today I will screen print more.....

Last session I managed 100 or so prints from 11.30am - 3.30pm

It's quite hardwork on yer upper body.

The Deadline has arrived, the book will be released on October 12th 2012.

I will outline the journey to this guillotine!

silk screening

Today I will silk screen some more black pages.....totally black pages.

I have been using photocopiers with the lid open, but the amount of ink smoothed onto the paper

feels a bit criminal......

I managed 50 prints in 3 hours which included a lot of mucking around getting a system.

today i would like to do 200 prints, but I think I should be happy with 100.

Perhaps a better plan is 100 today, 100 on Friday.

I will learn my roleplay at the same time.

Last print session I got so in the zone I could barely speak.

Risograph Printing

HATO PRESS and BLACK BOX PRESS

Great find, lovely books and the mention of Munken Lynx!

The start of my journey into building a book was the need for a tactile paper to print on.

I wanted the pulp of cheap books, old colouring books....this is called Munken Lynx.

I never found Munken Lynx because it seemed only to be sold in tonnes from China and now here it is mentioned and used at Hato Press.

Foxing is the discoloration around the edges of the page, due to light/moisture, great stuff.

All roads lead to home.
