I’ve grown intolerant of the lack of support for Democratic causes from Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia. In letterpress, I thought I would say it out loud.

There has been some interest through email from some students about how the inking was done; It is worth saying that if you have a question about any process or piece you see on our website, we are happy to address the issues (except political). In the top navigation, go to “ABOUT > contact.”

We talked about " color CLOUDS " when rolling the color on, we talked about “color CLOUDS.” That was referring to avoiding sharp edges to the more colorful ink.

We achieved that by rolling all wood type using 2 grey inks. You can see those values in the “O” of “SOME.” That grey is rolled on quite heavily. Then a color roller is lightly applied, again trying to avoid harsh edges. Keep in mind that when the print is pulled, the color will hit the paper first, with the grey essentially being overprinted. This also helps avoid those hard edges.

To show the difference, the image below is one of the earlier prints when we didn’t quite have as much control over the inking. We did about 20 prints. We didn’t get the process controlled until about the 10th print.
