Experimental offset printing: success!
Here at Pinball Publishing, we’re all about collaboration, fun, and exquisite printing.
The latest installment in our designer card series combines these tenets, and features a photograph from Jess Hirsch, former Pinballer and artist extraordinaire. Jess is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She is currently working toward her MFA in sculpture, and her new work includes engaging work like the Folk Feng Shui series, featured on this Designer Card.
These chipboard pocket postcards feature black ink overprinted on opaque white, to create a duotone image that almost shimmers. The black is rendered warm by its semi-transparent nature and the (somewhat translucent) opaque white ink creates a nuanced brightness when printed on the chipboard. The printing of these cards was wholly experimental (we didn’t know how they’d turn out!) but we’re positive the results were a success.
See the rest of the Pinball Publishing Designer Card series here, and find more of Jess’s work in her online portfolio. You can find these cards at select locations in Portland, New York and San Francisco. See more photos and print details below!
