Donāt get me started on my idea of creating acrylic type moulds entirely by cuttingāmaybe partly re-creating Gutenbergās Big Idea. (A type mould was his big idea!)

There is a plastic called PEEK (Polyether ether ketone) which is still solid at very high temperatures. Depending upon the exact variety it should be still useful within the casting temperature range for type metal with a fair margin of error.
It can also be engraved in a CO2 laser!

Final page of book printed: the cover! (Which will be wrapped around book board.) The tint in the background is from a large piece of Proofgrade walnut 1/8th plywood attached, as with chapter numbers, to a piece of MDF, then raised to type high. The texture is so so wonderful.

Art in the shop; I wish it were mine! Iāve done all my printing as designer in residence at Seattleās School of Visual Concepts. Wonderful place, wonderful people. (And literally across the street from Amazonās expansion.)
