#so as not to fuck with a rainbow roll on a clamshell

[cyclesprefectpress]

[video description: recording of letterpress printing in a clamshell-action press. the press opens on a hinge, with a relief surface fixed to one side of the V and the paper placed on the other. as the hinge opens, the rollers pass over the relief surface and distribute ink across the raised parts; as the hinge closes, the relief material comes in contact with the paper. each card is placed in register inside the press and removed after printing by hand, as the hinge opens and closes. This small notecard is printed with a small illustration of a trumpeter, and HALLOO in large type that fades from pink to blue across the page. end description.]
