| The Thermofaxprint "quick&dirty" with floating Motives. | Size = A6
|
You know, that artworks often arises during their development process.
In prints, the motive usually is given.
Another point is, using thin things (leafs, feathers,…) in the lay-out of a (screen-, intaglio-)print.

The cheap thermo-copier with 200 dpi solution.

This time I did both: move/exchange the elements after every printing pass and use leafs and and parts of feathers.
For this I used the simple „China-Tattoo-Copier“ and the thermofax-master vom „Gestetner“ (now available from „Ricoh“).
Additional I covered the carrier (240 g/qm paper) with a thin, clear plastic film.
Between carrier and plastic film, I put the items.
The thermofax-master I printed as usually (see here).
For this trial I used the CMYK-colors, show the different levels more simple.
The pur printing-time is very short: for the 4 colors I need less then 2 hours (12 copies).
Between the 2nd. color, the prints needed 2 hours to dry, after the 3rd color I let them dry overnight.
For a quick result, I use the size of a postcard.
The „China-Tattoo-Copier“ is limited to the size of A4, but you can use this size (or a smaller one) as pattern for printing on bigger formats, or fabric (for example with T-Shirt-Colors). Similar to the traditional thermofax-print,.
