NOTCOT is having an ISO50 giveaway including a couple Studio Giclee Prints, the new Syv shirt, and the Tycho Coastal Brake 12″. I also wrote a short piece on how we print the posters here at the studio and posted up some pictures of the process.

Thank you so much for posting. So very informative and inspirational! -tys
This is great, perhaps I will finally get a chance to get my hands on some of your work, Scott. It was cool to read up on the process as well, good write up!
love the poster creation process. really makes me want to get into some large format printing…looks like so much fun. great work scott and i can’t wait to get a giclee print.
^ Does want.
Your words on NOTCOT are super insightful. I love how you mentioned what kind of paper you print on and cutter you use. I definitely need to invest in one of those Dahle cutters. It always amazes me to think that you do all of the process in house. That really does create a beautiful touch to your work.
Hey Scott –
Where did you get your embosser made? I think you had mentioned where a while back but… that was a while back…
Awesome! 🙂
Really loved the whole step by step thing, although I guess the only think not familiar to me by now was the shipping part.
How do you suspend the tube in a tube? Do you stuff paper down the sides to provide dampening for any crushing forces or do you simply hang it somehow?
Thanks a lot for showing us an insight into the process!
Thanks for sharing sir, looks like an awesome giveaway and an interesting site.
Sooo great to see some shots from “behind the scenes”. I really admire that you put so much energy into giving (not only the poster) but the whole experience of packaging it, so much feel and personality. I could definitely tell when I opened up the Ghostly Print at home: the tube, the tape-sticker, everything. Thumbs up!
Who doesn’t love a behind the scenes? Great write up and quite the spread for a give away. I hope they pick me.
Any chance you’ll write up a piece on the financials of a Print artist? Or give us some behind the scenes on making moola? also I’d love to hear more about your choice to do digital. I think you’re one of the only print artist I know that isn’t printing via screen print or letterpress. I found it fascinating that you went to the Epson 9900 to get more hands on with your prints.
Keep the content coming! We’re loving it.
Awesome. Bravo for printing without crop marks too.

At the end of the day its all ink on paper. Screen printing is best kept for simple projects. Scott’s projects are the antithesis of simple.

I completely agree.
Marc-
yeah, my process and the resulting work isn’t always suited to screen printing. I think some of it could work great, but I would definitely feel limited in some ways. I love the look of screened posters, but it’s just not for me at this point, perhaps someday down the road when I’ve explored the digital realm a bit further.
What is the metal stamp in the third picture down called, and where could I get one made?
Thanks a ton
Hi Scott
I always enjoy all the posts at iso50 blog, specially those that involves processes of construction, this one is flawless. I did back in time a lot of printing techniques and works, etching, wood, screen, and when I got to digital printing I was worried about the protection and the long life of the inkjet prints, I use to add an extra layer of fixer for charcoal drawing but this solution could turn the white paper a little bit yellow with time.
I have a question about this matter – do you use any kind of protection layer after the final printing, does the epson 9900 has some kind of ink protection cartridge
