I spent a chunk of my weekend 3D printing the small etching press released by the Open Press Project, to give to one of my kids who is studying traditional intaglio printing (and who has access to much more serious presses at school.)

I finally got a chance to play with my new Open Press Postcard Printing Press! I cut a plate with this new knotwork frog I designed, and got some pretty good results after a little fiddling. After starting on this, I noticed that frogs seem to be bubbling up out of the collective unconscious a lot right now. I wanted to join the Open Press print exchange, but ran out of time to get prints to them. Maybe next year!
Tried taking some better photos of my prints from Friday. Instead we now have a bluish tint to everything as I tried to use the last of the daylight

Een kleine drukpers, 3D geprint naar het model van #openpressproject
Dit is de eerste versie. Ik moet nog een iets grotere versie maken voor kerstkaarten.

Also I apologise to any chess players as this is terrible composite (board is not chequered and the pieces are all over the place). I should’ve made a hand print just to see how terrible it was lol. #openpressproject #printmakersofmastodon #letterpress

Tried doing some letterpress on my #openpressproject postcard etching press. I think it should work on metal types, but I need a real metal chase (frame to contain your composited type). Will have a look and see if my local printmaking workshop has some small chases #printmakersofmastodon #letterpress

Update: having trouble with a couple areas either not getting ink or a plate wiping error. I guess it’s still a #workinprogress #engaving #intaglio #OpenPressProject
Carved and printed a tiny linoleum cut self portrait (2” x 2.5”) today. #mastoartist #selfportrait #OpenPressProject #printmaking #linocut
Just an initial trial print from my new mini etching press to see how it’s coming along—still needs work and I think it blurred a little in printing. Also the plate is only 2 x 2.5 inches. #OpenPressProject #drypoint #intaglio #unfinished
