CMYK Laser Cut Woodblock Print
Let's make a CMYK woodblock print using a laser engraver to make the blocks.
From Procreate to Lightburn, we go through the process of dividing the artwork into four halftone layers and fine-tuning for optimal print quality, and then print the blocks on an etching press.
Special thanks to Speedball Art for their support and supplies, crucial in bringing this project to life.

    Very cool process, some of the first halftones were also printed in letterpress. It was crisp and could be easily combined with text blocks. Intaglio (héliogravure) halftones were used for higher quality quality/volume for a long time. When planographic processes like offset lithography took off, they replaced almost everything until digital. Both typography and halftone images were now photographic process and the Linotype machines for composing text were scrapped. But people complained because optical typography systems were not as good. So now you’re starting the cycle again with your digital letterpress four-colour halftones!

    • @DiodePress
      @DiodePress 6 месяцев назад

      Every material requires an easy small test etching to figure that out, but I typically do just enough that when I print it, the background does not print. In this case, it’s probably 1/32nd-1/16th of an inch. Power and speed go hand in hand to determine this depth as well.

      It can be pretty fragile, but there are other products like Hydrostone plaster which are significantly harder. But you’d need to do some testing if trying to print onto it. If your just casting an object without the printing part, you could do something like Jesmonite as well. Good luck!
