DAMON ROBERTS PRINTMAKING ARCHIVE # TWO

By Damon Roberts

The studio - where all the action happens on the printmaking front. 

All the remaining wall space now raccked up to accommodate all the inks, binders and chemicals that i need for printmaking. 

The printing press i engineered with aluminium vacuum bed which holds the sheets i'm printing in place via an industial suction fan.

How the studio tends to look after a printmaking mission.

Orbs - CMYK Process print housed in Habitat Aluminus Frame.

The Orbs prints were one of my first experiments using the full colour CMYK print process on recycled kraft paper. The process can create an effect similar to old super8 video stills.

All prints are dispatched from my studio in strong cardboard mailer tubes to ensure safe transit. I'm currently selling only in the United Kingdom, The United States of America and Australia at the moment. I'm no longer selling to Europe for the time being due to the new GPSR restrictions. Hopefully this will change soon when the powers that be get their act together!

This first printing press i built was used to create many of my early print releases.

Dark room conditions only!..... The photo-sensitive emulsion i use to create the stencils for my printmaking projects.
