Back when this was possible we worked with our friend and mentor, Master Printer, Vijay Kumar at the Manhattan Graphics Center to use our 3D printed plates for viscosity printing. We just had an article published in the summer issue of Printmaking Today that describes our process.

Please enjoy these wonderful examples of the post digital printmaking concept by a fellow artist member of the Manhattan Graphics Center.

Substrata1. (“Architecture of Air” digital image for photo litho/chine colle collage)

Substrata 2. (“Berlin Air: Kreuzberg Skylight” digital image for metallic paper output)

With Photoshop I strip images I’ve “appropriated” to simplified elements that are collaged in multiple layers. I think of these as substrata—like a rich surface on which to begin. Sometimes I fold, cut, tape, paint or draw on them… Then rescan or rephotograph them only to begin the process again. Analog to digital and back again. From the layers comes the film separations to make silkscreen and photo litho prints. This aspect of the process can have a multitude of elements. And within each element there could be multiple passes of ink to get the right “underpaint” to support a surface color effect or texture.- JJudge

3D to 2D

Take our workshop April 30, May 7 and 14th at the Manhattan Graphics Center in NYC. The printer shown is under $200 and the work is student work from last year’s class. Learn to make your own 3D printed relief plate using free open source software.
