THE OLD SCHOOL PRESS

The making of Henry James Sat Here

For many days my A3 Epson 2100 sat churning its way through the images: 100 copies of each of the nine images by Kurt Feuerherm, printed onto the sheets of Somerset watercolour paper on which I had already printed the text of Anne Coon's poems.  

As is my habit, I printed the text in batches of ten, adjusting the inking between each batch. Each copy of the book is then made up of sheets from the same stage of inking, the goal being to ensure that each copy has the text printed at the same density - one of the penalties of using a press without automatic inking. So the images also went through the Epson in batches of ten, and here are the nine sets of sheets with images ready for collation.
