More fun with the holographic confetti paper on the Gom Jobber. DEFINITELY need to slipsheet with oxidizing ink on non-porous stock, even then the slipsheets stuck pretty heavily. You can see the offset on the left two prints, part of the first thirty I ran before I noticed the problem; the right one was slipsheeted. I suppose if I was running an offset press with a powder system it would be no problem, but this is all an experiment, so no worries. Went with more fluorescent inks on the back; I thought Dayglo Corona Magenta would be fun but I decided it wasn't garish enough. PANTONE 803 Yellow sufficed. One more run on this piece then it'll be done. I have to say, I'm getting much better at running the Gom Jobber now -- I'd say I'm probably at the level of a very slow but competent apprentice. 🤣 #letterpress #bostonprinter #printing #bostonpress #popmembers #crankclickyankback #type #lead #tin #antimony #vandercook #stovefactory #Charlestown #ink #paper #inkonpaper #gomjobber #goldingjobber7 #dayglo #fluorescent #fouraces #offset #slipsheets #holographicconfetti #slowbutcompetentapprentice https://www.instagram.com/p/CU8RiwHL_pC/?utm_medium=tumblr
