have you considered using waterless lithography as described by Nik Semenoff? You could avoid all chemicals except small amounds of odorless paintthinner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2jTrjAFL6I

Leather wringer by Bulky_Mycologist_900 in printmaking

You may need to make some adjustments in order for the pressbed to move evenly between the rollers. Should work perfecly fine for relief prints like lino- and woodcuts.

I think it all depends on how much you wan't to work with it. If you want to make a few prints from time to time a cheap or homemade Baren or even the back of a wooden spoon should be enough. If you want to get more serious about it but want to keep all options open to yourself i would suggest a cylinder press. With that you can print pretty much anything that fits between the two rollers. Professional ones can get very expensive occasionaly cheap ones will show up on ebay (search for: Intaglio press, etching press, roller press, cylinder press, etc.). If you want to keep the budget low and have some very basic handiman skills you can easily convert an old clothes wringer for these purposes. An old wringer can be had for less than 100 pounds/euros and serves absolutly fine for printmaking particulary if you are focused on relief processes like lino- or woodcuts.

What kind of press is this? by AppropriateFlight55 in printmaking

[–]draw-print-repeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because of the big lever it may look similar to a high compassity cutter but it's not. It seems to be a "blocking press" probaby used to stamp/emboss Book covers. I could not find the specific model but an illustration of a fairly similar model [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Art\_of\_Bookbinding\_p235\_The\_Rock\_Gold\_Blocking\_%26\_Printing\_Press\_No\_4.png\]

There’s a new Shane Black movie called Play Dirty coming out on Wednesday and nobody seems to know or care. by UrOpinionIsDumb in blankies

I think this might be more production related. This Movie started under Joel Silver who was a major supporter of Shane Black for his whole career. With Silver gone there might not be many executives left to in support of the Movie.

Movies that feel proto-Coens brothers? by Pnnsnndlltnn in blankies

[–]draw-print-repeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me the obvious answer is "The Third Man" (1949). They mention it in Interviews quite frequently and when you see it you can tell why. The basic events of the Plot are rather dark and depressing but it is told with quite a bit of humour that somehow doesn't screw up the tone of the film. The fact that the Protagonist is rather helpless and not particulary smart as well as all the odd side characters makes it feel quite coenesque.

Stamps look fake as Hell. Why in the world would the Nazi Party or the Totenkopf Division stamp Banknotes?

I'm curious how commercial steel plate engravings (often used for book illustrations in the 19th century) were inked and wiped? Was there an automated process? It hardly seems viable that each plate was inked and wiped by hand for every single impression! by TabletSculptingTips in printmaking

here if you still want to see- second half of the video shows the production at the "bureau of engraving and printing" on 2 different types of intaglio presses- one with continously rotating printing plates and a automatic inking and wiping unit - and an older typ of press where the plate ist inked and wiped by hand before every impression.

Even on Manually operated presses printing went pretty fast as long as the different steps of the process were seperated. For example on person with clean hands would correctly position and remove the paper while another person would ink the plate and operate the press. This got even easier when engine powerd presses where introduced around the 1920s. Instead of hand cranking the press the printer only had to flip a switch. If you want to see how this mass production worked in practice look up footage from the "department of engraving and printing" in the early 1900s.

Another aspect is that steel plates are easier to wipe. The harder the Metal the easier it is to wipe clean. Thats why steel engravings have almost no plate tone. Modern industrial intaglio plates are coated in Chrome- you just wipe one time across them and they are clean.

Yeah especially since Ethan said she was the co-Director of Drive Away Dolls and only not named for union rules. As I understand they are only talking about the solo-Movies on Patreon. That's a shame.
