This machine is showing the old analogue way of creating print the same as it would have been created before computer aided printing techniques. The effects are slightly different to the effects created via a computer, it is only slight, however still different. It is these different qualities depending on whether it is a digital process or more traditional that evokes interest in my way of thinking and how one can create interest in this way by using
Printing Techniques
Old Fashioned Traditional Printing Technique.
Vintage printer using metal text lettering .I have spent an afternoon in the print room after chasing a lot of other needs with various academic tutors in order to start collecting and collating visual information past and present.
I have booked a super intense scanner which can scan A2 and also scan transparencies which are old format colour negatives, these were used when I was running a fashion company selling soft accessories to small independents stores and large department stores and chains across the globe.
I need to show some previous work when I show my work so far at a presentation.This is were I will explain my interest in digital and traditional practices and how I wish to inquire how they can be integrated together to inform my new print practice techniques and art developments.
This image shows the vintage lettering set using blank metal pieces to line up words. The ink
can naturally fade out depending on how much ink is left on the metal letters also inks can be mixed to a more natural human eye to print concept.
The result of the printing technique: Traditional phrase, shows the traditional process of lettering used.
I have printed this traditional English phrase in a old sepia colour to reflect the colour of old photographs and print. This colour and chalky paper colours that I have chosen link to a process I am developing in regard to the effects that traditional vintage ancient artifacts have on the viewer consumer.
