A student asks me a question about #optimisation and #nesting so i'm back into "16 Case stories, re-imagining the practice of layout" with @colm @Femke @Ludi #OpenSourcePublishing
Published in 2012
"a catalogue put together as part of an attempt to rethink #layout tools, and features case stories that range from historical to present, on to the imaginary and speculative. The ‘camera-ready copy’ of this book was created on a pen #plotter: this has required a rethinking of the workflow, including a special font stack built upon engraving tools, to be able to use stroke based fonts."
Tools: #ActiveArchives, #LibreOffice, #Inkscape, Custom #Herschey Inkscape plugin, #Roland pen plotter, laser printer, glue and scissors. Printing: Risograph and Roland Pen Plotter.

Ich versuche immer noch, meinen #SilhouetteCameo3-#Plotter zum Schneiden zu bewegen. Immer wieder die Meldung, der Sensor könne die Markierungen nicht lesen. Und anscheinend muss ich dafür auch noch ein besonderes Dateiformat haben, was ich nur in der Studiosoftware erstellen kann.
Ehrlich gesagt verzweifle ich ein bisschen und frage mich, ob mein #StickerBusiness jetzt ernsthaft daran scheitert, dass ich zu doof bin, mit der Schneidemaschine umzugehen.

“In 1968 #HP introduced their first plotter - the 9125A flatbed #plotter - designed to be used with the 9100 #calculator and connected to the I/O slot at the back. This plotter famously made an appearance in the 1971 movie “The #AndromedaStrain”. After the 9125A, HP continued designing new plotters based on the original #9125A design until 1977.”

I'M SORRY
This should have been finished almost a year ago. But life took a bold turn last winter, and although 9 cards were already done in January, it took me until today to finish these #ptpx2024 #plotter postcards!

They will be going to their rightful recipients very soon.
