Still catching our collective breathes but a few more shots taken by Adam Cavan. Each artist worked with about 30 images, printed on a few different book papers. Working in groups we were able to print each book in a perfect edition, with a couple bonus prints on crazy papers as well. Thanks to all of the artists for coming out and working with us, it was so much fun for all of us working and printing together.

A few action shots of printing and not sitting for an entire week straight. Thanks for the pictures Adam Cavan and thanks for all of the plate washing help, and paper whispering Julia this workshop was a ton of fun and we cannot wait to tweak it and do it again next year!

Our Gravure book shop just wrapped up! It was a whirlwind of paper, ink and good times. Thanks to everyone for making it out to the studio. This was a huge success, thanks to Adam Cavan and Julia for the pictures because we all took almost none because of inky hands and busy bodies. Thanks for teaching with us j carrier we could@not have done it without you. More pictures soon as we recover, and unpack the drier that is filled to the brim with amazing book pages.

Hey Ebony Frison this one is for you! Mitchell Press Works is in the house during our photogravure book workshop. This is how long it takes to set up and calibrate a small high pressure press made by Mitch. Under ten minutes. F*ck yes.

We got to print some awesome massive R a c h e l P o r t e s i images this week. These were huge 40x50” prints on hahnemuhle bamboo. Printing out her beautiful process this large is really special. Both of us always forget how much we love printing out inkjet sometimes. Really beautiful to see these large advanced monochrome prints!

The base is in place….
Just have to wait a little bit longer for our Mitchell Press Works to make its journey south. Trying to get it all squared away and level. And more flat files never hurt anyone.

One more full bleed Rachel Cox working with this series was a lot of fun. These prints went through a ton of ink but it was worth it to get the rich black oily ink everywhere. Filling the print drier was great to see the white and black prints next to each other. Thanks for coming out Rachel we can’t wait to see what you do with these prints.

At our studio we do things slightly differently. That includes thin paper chine-collé prep. We apply a special glue to the duralar and then apply the duralar to the gampi over a silicone release board. It has to happen fast or else the glue goes through the gampi print side and micro-pulls the paper when removing the thing from the board. This method is slightly different from the technique we showed in an early post here. That earlier post used a thicker paper. In this case we are glueing 20gsm gampi but we can go all the way down to 7gsm. The gampi dries and is ready to cut to a plate and pull off its backing at time of printing. This makes chine-collé printing easy and precise. Thank you Rachel Cox for filming!

A couple more from our work with Rachel Cox we printed 3 of the series in full black backgrounds and 2 were down with an irregular edge. Creating these shapes that felt just off enough to question the dimension of the print. The lighter images in this series were super powerful filling the space in the opposite way of the full bleed prints. We had never done a border like this so it was an awesome challenge. Thanks for making the trip out tow work with us Rachel we had a blast.
