s3e48 lithography deep dive with printer/publisher Deb Chaney
Manage episode 395684423 series 3486239
In episode s3e48, Platemark host Ann Shafer speaks with Deb Chaney, Tamarind-trained master printer specializing in lithography. She has an eponymous imprint, Deb Chaney Editions and has started a new venture with Stéphane Guilbaud—D&S Fine Art Editions—to whom she is fairly recently married. They have studios in Upstate New York (studio to be built), Paris, and LaForce, France.
Ann and Deb talk about the beauty of litho stones, common problems that come with printing lithographs, why litho inks are more saturated than other types of inks, how the Tamarind program works, why printers are the nexus of the whole system, and the surprising differences between the print ecosystem in France versus the United States. Deb is a delight and super knowledgeable. You’ll learn more about the chemistry of lithography (adding to the history of litho we got from Michael Barnes in episode 25), and so much more.
