Tirage d'art | Soeur | Dorure à chaud | Papier noir

Your poster is the evidence of the first printing techniques invented. It is produced in our workshop in Provence. We do not use inks. The design, engraved on a metal plate, is pressed strongly into the paper, so as to create a relief, called in the printing pressa "deboss"

In order to engrave this metal plate, a line drawing, in black, and digital is essential.So we draw all the designs on a graphic tablet, with digital pencil as we could on paper.

We place a marking film with aluminum pigments between the paper and the metal piece. When pressure is exerted on the paper and the cliché is hot enough,the pigments are transferred into the hollow created by the high pressure.

Our papers are Art "tender" papers in other words, they accept deformation, without tearing. They are made from virgin paper pulp, are dyed in the mass for a deep color, respect environmental standards in the best possible way and are 100% recycled and 100% recyclable.

They are, without a doubt, the noblest papers that we still have the chance to work on today.

Production settings and preparations are manual and artisanal, no digital guidance is used, since our platen presses date from the 1950s. ingenious mechanical make these presses the natural guardians of this Art which will communicate elegance and quality like no other printing technique: LetterPress

Each strike is specific, and tiny particularities may appear, this is normal and testifies to the artisanal technique.
