Prints: “Sarah & Emmett” by Travis Louie from Pressure Printing

Pressure Printing has just released the first print for the new year. Sarah & Emmett by Travis Louie was first seen at his solo show @ Copro Nason entitled Strange Grooming Habits. Pressure Printing went all out for this print, and not only embossed and stained the paper, but also took into account how Travis’ work looks like under domed glass. So they used a $1000 domed brass plate to help add a bit of the feel from the original into this print (see the whole process). This 9.5″ x 13″ intaglio print is on handmade Twinrocker paper, antiqued with walnut ink and watercolors, embossed, and signed and numbered in an edition of 50. Each print also comes with a certificate of authenticity.

It’s always exciting when Pressure Printing releases a new print. The quality and features of their prints is top notch. Looks like they just released a new print from Glenn Barr. “Evening” is a giclee print on Hahnemühle German Etching paper, which was then inlaid into debossed 300gsm Arches watercolor paper. The paper is embossed with printer’s chop, and also comes with a custom-designed, perforated, signed and numbered certificate of authenticity. The print is 30” x 18.5” with an image size of 23” × 11”, signed and numbered in an edition of 50.

Pressure Printing launches new website

The very first version of the website for the amazing Pressure Printing was great. But as the list of artists and grown, it was time for a change. So version 2 of Pressureprinting.com is now live.

The new site is just as classy and easy to move around, if not easier. There is now a huge timeline showing all of the prints from the various artists they have worked with. Everything about each print is right there on this timeline. I think this is a great way of showing the legacy of works, as well as making it more enjoyable. Head on over and see for yourself. The blog also shows the various design ideas that came to mind while making this new version.
