Leveraging bar?? </h2>
<div class="info">
</div>
<p><img src="file:///C:/Users/Fpressstudio/Desktop/IMG_0313.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-69" title="img_03131" src="http://fpressstudio.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/img_03131.jpg" alt="img_03131" width="567" height="755" />I am incredibly curious about the contraption this printer is using. It seems to be a sort of leveraging bar for the squeegee pressure? I have been around a number of graphic presses both automatic and manual, but I’ve never witnessed anything like this. I imagine it to be a great hybrid that eases the labor load for the printer without loosing the hands on control. Anyone care to enlighten me? This is a shot of the inner workings of the <a href="http://www.stolenspace.com/">Stolen Space print shop</a> in London. They are printing <a href="http://www.jeffsoto.com/">Jeff Soto’s</a> prints for his <a href="http://www.stolenspace.com/section.php?xSec=3">‘Inland Emire’ show</a> which runs from 14.05.09 - 07.06.09.</p>

<p>McLogans is a Screen Printing and Sign supply warehouse down in the printing supplies district of Los Angeles. I made my way down there for the first round of poster printing inks, emulsion, and asorted planet friendly chemicals. I found the owner who asisted me for nearly half an hour very helpful and informative. Despite the many other customers and distractions, I got all my questions answered and even a box full of free samples. It probably didn’t hurt that I was droping a fair amount of cash in one visit, but I was impressed nevertheless. For all who are interested: 2010 S. Main St Los Angeles, CA 90007 (213) 749-2262. Also thank you to <a href="http://www.michaelmichaelmotorcycle.com/" target="_blank">Michael Michael Motorcycle</a> for the tip!</p>

<p>Yesterday I received the long anticipated Gig Poster volume 1 which I pre-ordered a few months ago. My anticipation was not undeserved! This 11×14 inch book boasts over 200 pages of beautifully re-produced full page prints each perforated if you want to tear them out for display. This collection is both a ready to hang exhibit in itself or an amazing inspirational resource to have on file.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.myartspace.com/blog/labels/art%20law.html" target="_blank">This Article</a> pertaining to a potential copyright infringement by Shepard Fairy’s iconic Obama HOPE poster is a good reminder for all the Graphic Artists who use online photos as inspiration.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">(Which is just about everyone these days)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Apparently Shepard Fairey stated that he did not know who the photographer of the Obama photograph was and that he found the image randomly online.</p>
