Diyan Achjadi / Printing Intaglio Materials: Plate Paper – Good Diyan Achjadi / Printing Intaglio Materials: Plate Paper – good quality rag paper is important to absorb the ink. Paper should be cut or torn to size beforehand and soaked for at least 10 minutes. Mylar or acetate – for registration template Tarletan Inks Ink spreader Palette knife Phone book pages Rags PPE: thin nitrile gloves (for printing), regular nitrile gloves (for clean up) 1. Set the pressure on the press. Choose one of the intaglio presses Select the appropriate set of blankets (presses are color coded, as are the blankets. Match the press to the blanket set. Look at diagrams on wall to see what the order of the blankets should be.) Place acetate/clear mylar on press bed Place clean plate on center of press bed Place a sheet of newsprint on the plate Place blankets on top of plate, center on press bed Roll press bed so it is centered to the press rollers (that provide pressure) Turn the pressure gauge – turn both the left and right ones simultaneously, to the right, until the press is tight. Roll the press bed through until the plate is disengaged from the roller Turn the pressure gauge again ¼ turn * To test the pressure: Place a sheet of blank, clean newsprint or scrap printing paper on top of your plate, and run it through the press with the blankets on. There should be a slight debossment of the plate on to the paper. If there is not, then tighten the press another ¼ turn, and test again. The debossment should be even all around; if not, check and make sure that both the left and right side of the press are even. 2. Put your registration template on the press bed The registration template should have an outline of your paper and an outline of your plate, allowing you to see where to place both elements. Trace your plate on a sheet of newsprint, trace an outline of your paper outside of the plate. Place this newsprint under your acetate. 3. Ink up your plate (PPE: use disposable thin nitrile gloves, or a barrier cream) Skim some ink from a can, use a palette knife and put ink on glass top table. DO NOT GOUGE FROM THE CAN Exercise the ink (or mix with other inks as needed) Grab an ink spreader (square of matboard) and spread ink over the surface of your plate When the plate is covered with ink, take a large tarletan square, roll it into a ball (making sure that you have a surface to work on that has no creases or threads hanging out) Gently wipe the surface of the plate with the tarletan ball. The point is to start removing ink from the surface while leaving ink in the grooves. You only need to do this very briefly. Get some phone-book pages, and continue to wipe the plate. Keep the paper flat and even to polish off the ink from the surface of the plate. Wipe as evenly as possible. The goal is to remove ink from the surface (which will be the white areas of your print) without removing ink from the grooves. Be careful of making streaks in dense tonal areas. * Do not overwipe. It will take some practice to get a good sense of when enough wiping has taken place. 4. Put your paper on the registration template and trap the paper Make sure your paper is larger than your plate, and that you give yourself at least a 2” margin all around Run the press just enough so that the edge of the paper is caught under the roller and is trapped. 5. Lift your paper, and place your plate under the paper Pay attention to your registration template, line up your plate to the template. Be careful not to touch the surface of the plate. 6. Run your paper and plate through Donʼt drop the paper. Ideally, the first contact the paper should have with the plate is under the roller. 7. Place paper in between blotters / weights so that it will remain flat while the ink dries. *To continue printing, repeat steps 3-6 *If your print is too light, it may be because of: - overwiping your plate. Try to wipe a little less the second time - too little pressure. If it looks like there is still a lot of ink on your plate after you have run it through the press, you probably could add more pressure * If your print has too much ink / ink is gloppy - you may have not wiped the plate enough. * If your print is uneven - you need to wipe more systematically and consistently - your paper may not be evenly blotted 8. When you are finished printing: (PPE: thick nitrile gloves) - clean plate with mineral spirits, degrease with vinegar. Store plate on shelf. - scrape up and discard excess ink. Clean table with oil, degrease with vinegar - wipe any ink off of your registration template with a dry rag. Put template away. - wipe down the press bed with a small amount of mineral spirits and a rag. - disengage blankets, and hang at appropriate spot. Never leave blankets trapped in the press overnight. - clean palette knives (oil and vinegar), return tarletan to drawer, throw out used phone book pages, etc. .

St. Clair Street, Toledo, Ohio 43604 419-241-2400 20northgallery.com — [email protected] Craig Fisher & Dan Hernandez 20northgallery.com — [email protected] July 7 – September 30, 2017 An exhibition of new and existing works featuring fantastical, intricate and meticulously rendered images of mystical, otherworldly themes—all incorporating classical symbolism to reference contemporary thought, culture and technology The intaglio etchings and aquatint prints by Craig Fisher blend classic architectural and landscape imagery that transitions from mechanical to organic to supernatural, on both macro and micro scale. The acrylic and inkjet transfer paintings by Dan Hernandez intermingle the iconic imagery of European Renaissance and classical Asian painters with early video game design, portraying figures engaged in vibrant and energetic conflict. Despite the dramatic differences in media, visual style and subject matter, the works of these two distinguished area artists juxtapose like themes of science & technology with spirituality, as well as the combination of old and new media, to explore the metaphysical concept of the “otherworld”—the varying layers of existence between humankind’s experience of the “real” world and the world of belief. This combination creates an intriguing, thought-provoking and unquestionably beautiful exhibit. 1 Craig Fisher Toledo, Ohio Artist Biography Craig Fisher received his Bachelor of Arts in fine art from The University of Toledo, School of Design in 1976, following two years of additional study in The Netherlands at the Pascal College, Zaandam, North Holland. He has worked in various positions as a technical Illustrator, graphic designer and, more recently, as a concept artist.

Preceding the availability of paper as a writing surface, the earliest books in China, known as jiance or jiandu, were written on thin strips of prepared bamboo and wood, which were usually interlaced in sequence by parallel bands of twisted thongs, hemp string, or silk thread. The text was written with a *writing brush and lampblack *ink in vertical columns from right to left—a *layout retained by later MSS and printed books—after which the strips were rolled up to form a primitive *scroll binding (see 17). The surviving specimens of jiance are mostly the result of 20th­ th rd century scientific archaeological recovery, and date from around the 6 century BC to the 3 century AD.

  • Metaphor and the Limits of Print in Ezra Pound's Cantos
    intervalla: Vol. 4, 2016 ISSN: 2296-3413 METAPHOR AND THE LIMITS OF PRINT IN EZRA POUND’S CANTOS Claire Battershill Simon Fraser University ABSTRACT Ezra Pound’s collected Cantos presents textual scholars with a challenge. Parts of the poem were published in little magazines, in newspapers, in fragments and in deluxe editions. No definitive edition of the Cantos exists, and the poem’s difficulty, though often figured as an interpretive difficulty, was just as much a textual difficulty. Just as the text of the poem itself is complex, so Pound’s own metaphors about the nature of print, textuality, and poetry are multifarious and shifting throughout the poem. This essay reads Pound’s own language of textuality and orality in the Cantos alongside his comments on modernist print culture in order to argue that Pound consistently tested the limits of material textuality even as he drew metaphorical power from the language of book history and print culture. Keywords Book History, Print Culture, Textual Studies, Metaphor, Modernism, Orality, Ezra Pound Copyright 2016 © (Battershill). Licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC by-nc-nd 4.0). Battershill Metaphor and the Limits of Print in the Cantos “And even I can remember A day when the historians left blanks in their writings, I mean for things they didn’t know But that time seems to be passing.” —Ezra Pound, Canto XIII 601 The tremendous number of instructional books about “how to read” Ezra Pound’s Cantos is indicative of more than an attempt to simplify “modernist difficulty.”2 These texts and, indeed, Pound’s own instructive projects in ABC of Reading (1960) and Guide to Kulchur (1952), offer ways of narrowing the epic down into a manageable reading experience.

EpigrapWc Bulletin for Greek Religion 1991 (EBGR) This fifth issue of BEGR presents the publications of 1991 along with several addenda to BEGR 1987-1990. The division of the work between New York and Heidelberg, for the first time this year, caused certain logistical prablems, which can be seen in several gaps; some publications of 1991 could not be considered for this issue and will be included in the next BEGR, together with the publications of 1992. We are optimistic that in the future we will be able to accelerate the presentation of epigraphic publications. The principles explained in Kernos, 4 (991), p. 287-288 and Kernos, 7 (994), p. 287 apply also to this issue, The abbreviations used are those of L'Année Philologique and the Supplementum Bpigraphicum Graecum. We remind our readers that the bulletin is not a general bibliography on Greek religion; works devoted exclusively to religious matters (marked here with an asterisk) are presented very briefly, even if they make extensive use of inscriptions, In exceptional cases (see n° 87) we include in our bulletin studies on the Linear B tablets.
