I successfully changed out my MZ touch screen yesterday, and it wasn’t too bad. I’d read about the tape holding the screen to the metal frame and how pesky it could be, but with a firm surface to prevent the metal frame from warping, and a good palette knife, it popped off easy enough. The only mistake I made was initially putting the new screen on backward. Lol. Thankfully, I’d used a double-stick tape that wasn’t too strong and it works fine now that it’s oriented correctly. Very happy to have a fully functioning screen again!

Video Art Zine 1.1 + 1.2 is finally complete! It’s a collection of still frames contributed by 23 artists from the Scanlines and LZX Community forums online, presented as two 24-page Riso booklets. They will officially debut the Detroit Art Book Fair, October 15-16, and Phase Space in Brooklyn, NY will also have copies at their flea market on October 16th. Beyond that, the zines will be available online/via post, and I’ll be looking for some independent bookstores or retailers who may want to stock it. Online orders are open now at: printcache.com/bookshelf (link in bio), with a pre-release sale going until October 15th. First online orders will go out the week following the release dates.

Working on a deep clean of the inking system on an RP drum.

T24-539 is an inking motor lock, and chances are that the electric motor is ok, but the pump us clogged up. This one is about halfway back from the dead, but the ink distributor is still not flowing cleanly. 💩

Because it’s an RP/GR/FR ink tube with a wide opening, I can still get salvage the ink by putting it in a paper funnel and squeezing it back in the tube.

I try to mix up the warms and cools in a book so that there is a slight shift of emphasis and subtle rhythm to the sequence. These two booklet spreads will also get a yellow and a black layer, and each facing page will meet its other half when bound, so this play with color will be distributed across 8 pages. Colors: Sky/Red & LTeal/BRed

the printed index of tiny little lightning bolts fireworks; literally, look closely…

toner-based printers (like laser and LED printers) use minute electrostatic charges to generate, hold, and transfer the powder based pigments from one surface to another before they get fused to a substrate (paper, usually). sometimes when the humidity is really low, there are a few stray sparks, which you can see here in the background picture of clouds, which seem to get frozen in time.

I’m excited to share that I’ll be teaching a Riso workshop this summer at Penland! 📚

The two week workshop will focus on using Riso, copiers scanners, cameras, and collage to explore process, modularity, and dispersed forms of art making. Open to all levels. Scholarships are available too, so check out Penland.org for more info!

Working on a couple of multichannel profiles that contain analogous color pairs to hit some extra variation in those target areas. That bottom one is about the most out-of-gamut colorspace I think I can make and still mix a strong shadow.

I bought a MZ790u this past week as part of a print shop merger. It came with a mix of Z and RP drums, which is cool because I’ve got RP already. The test prints I made to see what was on the old drums, and a peek at some of the notes that came with everything, offer a glimpse into the typical service life of a Riso.

It came to me via Boldman Printing in Urbana, OH who apparently bought another shop, Main Graphics, I would guess from the diner placemats (there were others, not pictured). But Boldman didn’t really have a good customer base for Riso work, so they decided to sell off all the Riso stuff as-is.

Service records for the MZ show regular use from 2009-2012, and the most recent sign of use is a master that has 2014 in the image, but that was on one of the RP drums—they had a 3700 that got scraped. The MZ has over 5M impressions, and over 10K masters, IIRC, so the average job would have been about 500 copies—that makes sense.

Other fun facts and gems, Black was by far and away the most used color, coming in at 1,967,720 copies and the least used was Turquoise at just 501, which is virtually unused. Still, everything is going to need some rehab work, lots of dry screens and the most badly separated ink I’ve ever seen (Turquoise!), but nothing is looking too terrible so far, so that’s great news. Time to see what kind of second life I can make of it all.

It’s been a tough couple of weeks, with the studio flooding twice in that time. Thankfully things appear to be fixed up right this time, the space has been cleaned, things put back together, and the press is going again! 😅

"Designers and artists are always on the lookout for new and distinctive printing techniques; today, more and more graphic design studios around the world are rediscovering Risograph technology, using it to give their work a vibrant, absolutely contemporary feel.

Risographs are at the forefront of a new wave of analogue printing. The book Risomania documents this unique and unexpected renaissance in graphic printing, as well as providing an overview of the history and development of these machines.

In addition, the book looks at other, earlier stencil-duplicating machines, which are also being used more and more widely, among them the Mimeograph and Spirit Duplicators. Filled with beautiful examples of print series, postcards, zines, yers, and other experimental prints, Risomania is an exciting and timely project."
