Tony uses ink to print his fingerprints onto some paper, and then uses a pen to turn them into doodles of a rabbit and a cat. He applies poster paint to various household objects, and uses them to print a picture of a face.

Tony and Margot use paint and foam rubber blocks to print a picture of a building on a large sheet of paper on the studio floor.

Margot experiments with some simple designs using her initials, MW. She looks at different materials for making printing stamps, including rubber erasers, and rubber heels and soles. She then makes various stamps, including her initials, a sailing boat, a footprint, and the word "PRINT".

Tony plays some animated computer graphics, which were created using MacPaint on an Apple Macintosh 128K computer.

Finally, Tony uses a roller to put a very thin film of printing ink onto a sheet of glass. He places a blank sheet of paper over it, and uses a hard pencil to trace a photograph on top, so that the paper picks up the ink. (Notice that he doesn't trace the woman's mouth - this must have been edited out of the programme!) He also traces a quick doodle of a woman's face, using a pointed stick.
