Just giving a talk on Australian women artists. I taught Australian art at Canberra's Australian National University.

Re Thea Proctor's use of mauve/purple in her costumes: see Regina Blaszczyk, The Color Revolution, which has an entire chapter on the Victorian use of the color mauve. Queen Victoria's wedding gown was mauve, which caused a fashion fad throughout the English-speaking world for mauve. NOT anything to do with being queer!

Do you still happen to have a pdf available @ZygotePress?

Lovely clear demo ... if you use nori paste that would keep the paints open a bit longer perhaps? I have been experimenting with water colours and japanese woodblock printing.

Nice video! I ran offset presses for 40 years. The ink company should be able to supply you with round sheets to cover the ink after you skin it. It’s the only way to go. Saves time and product. Or you can always put the can on a sheet of paper and trace a circle and cut it out to place over the fresh ink.

Hi and thank you for a great presentation! I live on Cape Cod and go to PTown regularly to admire the art. When I moved here I started to learn about the history of the artists and the colonies here and of course eventually I came across the white line printmaking movement. I am learning printmaking myself via the Japanese tradition. but the white line really has me intrigued. This was a very informative presentation please tell the Brittany presenter thanks!

Slice, punch, and step on them bro and not on yo front lawn, geez. If you take care of it when you empty the box (15-20 seconds?) you won’t have a stack in the garage. Or yard, in some cases.

Hi! We are not able to get the Delivery Table to release from the Feed table. We are not able to lower the delivery table without moving the feed table. When we rotate the wheel on the right, it just moves both tables. Is there a release? Thank you!

Lieber Drucker...so darfst DU gar nicht verfahren. Jeder Rahmen hat auf der linken Seite eine Erhöung von oben nach unten. Diese Erhöhung muss auf dem Fundament resp dem Aufzug beim Drucken aufliegen, damit die einseitigen Kräfte, wenn Du rechts unten druckst (prägen in Deinem Fall), aufgefangen werden. Ansonsten der Tiegellagerung (Kniehebellagerung) irgendwann bye bye sagen kannst! Der kleine Heidelberger Tiegel hat 40 Tonnen Druckkraft, der grosse Tiegel hat 60 Tonnen Druckkraft. Warum druckst DU ohne die Bogen azulegen?

Can I get a job in your press shop ? I have a study in press and experience with this machine and GTO machine.

Green . And Disquieting.

Thank you! Now I have a more expansive appreciation of this artist's work. Previously my view was that only his basically green landscapes were lovely. Now I see clearly that the woodcuts are equally beautiful. The print portfolio presented here is wonderful.

Trabalho até hoje com tipografia

Gostei muito das texturas!!👏👏👏

Thanks! I've wanted to try this technique for a long time. One question - which Krylon spray did you suggest if I wanted to seal the plate? There was a little glare on the can and I couldn't make it out.

Very nice video, I had 40 years on Heidelbergs, 10x15, 13x18 and Cylinders, lovely machines and I miss them now, good to see one running.

How do you make the photo polymer plate.... I want to learn that too.

Thank you very much Shadi, you made me relive something that I had lost, but that I find through your video. I wish you the best IFIK

You are debossing not printing

You need to be shown by a old letter press tradesman how to do a proper makeready not just punch the sheets as the vine type punches in more than the solid arears

Fixed grip is not the best way to go

Or use nickel lays to align the print

That is a old pms book. You did not show how to put the Packing on correctly using the gauge ? Underlay needs to be done so the proper make ready , cut out the high spots so the image does not punch the paper. The correct pressure is just kiss the surface of the stock. Make ready done under the oiled manilla top sheet.

Really excellent talk!

Thanks!

I can’t find the pdf plan, where is it located ?

hi Shadi, thanks so much for this valuable video. Just wanted to ask, where can I get the foil attachment unit for a Heidelberg Windmill?

I’m using Arches hot press… after I coat it, it curls a bit. How do you keep it flat while it dries?

These turned out beautiful! Very nice indeed.

Magic sounds 🇧🇷

Great video and outcome ♥️

Very good. Very intelligence printing. Thank you

Very interesting. More than I anticipated. Thanks.

Beautiful Cyanotype.

Wonderful presentation. Could I ask what the skeleton leaf design is? Is it a commercial stencil or one you made yourself. So interesting. Thank you.

Fantastic. Thank you.

Can't find the PDF, the website is not available

Hi Shadi... Thank you for posting this video tutorial. I am learning how to operate these beautiful old machines, and now have two ! One for Die Cutting,,which i seem to have mastered, and the other is purely for printing . Your video has given me many tips and the encouragement to get on and do it. Best wishes all the way from the U.K. David

Learn printing

the plans included was enough reason for a like and subscribe. keep up the great work

Very nice build. I need to point out that I'd have covered myself in ink. Well done.

Nice job. Planning to build one of these with my son - the pdf is a great help. Thanks!

You are an awesome teacher. I very much enjoyed how you carefully explained everything. I believe you gave me encouragement when I was inquiring about my Adast Graphopress GPF on the letterpress website. I still need a metal distributer roller for this machine. Some day .. I was thinking about making one from aluminum.

Is there a list of all of the printmaking studios that participated?

The961collective you are absolutely the BEST! Keep up the amazing work Shadi :) Thank u Zygote for this wonderful block party !

Where do you buy the chemicals to coat the paper? Could you use a plant light for exposure instead of the sun? Can you use the same process on any fabric? Thanks

Good job Lisa! Thanks, Dian Disantis

Terrific demonstration!

informative and visually interesting.. thanks for doing this interview!
