Greetings from Schnellpresse Bootcamp

All this week I have the extreme pleasure (and honour) to work on a Johannisberger Schnellpresse from 1897 with the legendary Ernst Hanke, from “Steindruckerei Erika & Ernst Hanke”. While you might not know of the guy, you’ve surely seen his craft in one of many lithographies he’s printed together with his longest collaborating artist, Paul Wunderlich (follow this link to a video showing them working together back in the day, starts at 10:16).

Schnellpresse lithography is fucking amazing. You need to have your litho down, and then there’s a whole new world to learn, lots of things you wouldn’t get away with on a handpress, and so much more fun with colours. In the above gifs we’re printing a stone of mine, first a layer of warm reds fading into warm green, then burning parts of the tusche wash with hot acid, “opening up” the image, then printing a layer of warm green fading into deeper green. The burned tusche wash is dropped point on point on the first colour, resulting in a dark brown with red (the burned wash parts) shining through in the lower parts, while the upper part of the fade (warm green + deeper green) creates a wash layer with a much larger tonal range. We then print a third layer, with the tusche wash burned again, so that only the greasiest, darkest parts still print. The stone remains in the press, is degreased, counter etched, some parts are stopped out with acidic gum, then a flat is established with asphaltum, printed twice in extremely transparent warm brown, the second drop with a little fade upwards, resulting in the stone coloured background. The pics don’t do this print justice, so far we’ve been printing every day from dawn till way past dusk (easy to say when living in Scandinavia in the winter...), shall try to get some daylight pics tomorrow. Either way, stay fierce!

what is offset lithography used to make Lithography, printing

After about 1825 many firms that utilized the lithographic process were established for producing a variety of commercial work and for distributing popular topical, historical, and religious subjects to a wide audience. Lithography , planographic printing process that makes use of the immiscibility of grease and water. In the lithographic process, ink is applied to a grease-treated image on the flat printing surface; nonimage (blank) areas, which hold moisture, repel the lithographic ink. This inked surface is then printed—either directly on paper, by means of a special press (as in most fine-art printmaking), or onto a rubber cylinder (as in commercial printing). The process was discovered in 1798 by Alois Senefelder of Munich, who used a porous Bavarian limestone for his plate (hence lithography, from Greek lithos, “stone”). The secret of lithographic printing was closely held until 1818, when Senefelder published Vollständiges Lehrbuch der Steindruckerey ( A Complete Course of Lithography ). Fine-art lithography. The earliest—though no longer the only—method of creating lithographs involved the use of a block of porous limestone. The method of preparing such stones for hand printing has remained substantially unchanged since Senefelder’s time. The materials and procedures of the 19th-century lithographer are duplicated in almost every respect by the contemporary hand printer. An image is drawn with tusche (a carbon pigment in liquid form) and litho crayon before the printing surface is fixed, moistened, and inked in preparation for printing. The printing itself is done on a press that exerts a sliding or scraping pressure. Because it undergoes virtually no wear in printing, a single stone can yield an almost unlimited number of copies, although in art printmaking only a specific number of prints are pulled, signed, and numbered before the stone is “canceled” (defaced). Techniques developed in the 20th century varied the process considerably, though many artists continue to prefer the time-honoured method. Lithography became a popular medium among the artists who worked in France during the mid-1800s; Francisco de Goya (in voluntary exile in France), Théodore Géricault, and Eugène Delacroix were among the first lithographers. Honoré Daumier was far more prolific, however, making about 4,000 designs, ranging from newspaper caricatures to broadsides printed on a single sheet. Daumier was one of the first lithographers to make use of the process called transfer lithography, by which the tusche drawing is made on paper instead of on the lithographic stone. The drawing is then transferred to the stone and printed in the usual way.... View more ...
