Next level split fountain printing using bespoke ink tray divider.
Prem wanted a subtle gradient between red and orange tones, so this was the perfect occasion to use the new ink tray dividers. Although it is already possible with the Office Offset machine to achieve a proper split fountain print, those dividers stop the various inks even better from mixing with each other.
The first paper template and the final shape after a few prototypes.
The paper template was used to determine the dimensions as accurately as possible. After a few tests, the final shape of the dividers was fixed and production could begin. The perfect tool for such low quantity production was in this case a laser cutter. Will Taylar from lasercut-berlin was up for the task and helped with his machines.

There is nothing like manual labour.
Happy Prem!
