The Great Round (1/5)

Pulp printing refers to a process of spraying finely beate, pigmented cellulose fibers through a silkscreen, stencil (or other mesh-like objects), onto freshly made paper — versus the traditional methods of pushing ink through a screen or manipulating ink on an etching plate, etc. to produce imagery.

Pulp printing can only be done right after a sheet is formed, while it is still wet (and before it is pressed), allowing the text and/or imagery to become part of the paper instead of sitting on top of it.

I learned this technique from Drew Matott, co-founder of the Combat Paper and The Peace Paper Projects. Matott developed his version of silkscreen pulp printing after learning pulp-stenciling methods from Tim Mosel with Silver Wattle Press.

Nearly all of these works are already matted with archival 100% cotton rag matboard and framed with a natural or black wood frame. However, they can also be purchased without a frame (see pricing in the drop-down menu).
