  • couple of questions...

    what type of paper?

    what type of ink is used?

    how long is the drying time between 2nd color print?

    thanks!

  • I use uncoated paper, 60 lb - 100 lb cover.

    Coated one side is pretty good and I use 15pt and you need to allow a bit more time to dry on coated paper.

    I use oil based ink purchased from Oldham Group in Ft Worth, TX

    Drying time can be 2-3 hours for small coverage and overnight for large coverage. Also, if you use coated paper is could take 6-8 hours and less for uncoated paper since the ink is being absorbed into the sheet.

    Hope this helps,

    Casey

  • really interesting and inspiring, thankyou

  • very interesting video thanks

  • Really enjoyed this clip, I was a Letterpress Comp in 1976 and followed the trade to Adobe Photoshop, CorelDraw, Pagemaker and still love it today as much as I did back in 1976, thank you for the clip.

  • @pcoitinho

    Photopolymer plate, he says in the video.

  • Amazing, i am really looking forward to getting linoleum and movable type together now! :D

    However... one question

    How is the blue plate done? I am guessing not in linoleum because carving a halftone... Photolithography maybe?

  • Awesome video, I love the finished product. Wish I could work with something like the metal plate you have with the car on it.

  • Great artwork! Love the poster!
