Marcel (Taller Estampa) talking with L’Automàtica master printer
Yesterday I visited the BCN printer L’Automàtica in Gràcia with Taller Estampa members Marcel + Roc. Terrific to see these beautiful off-set and letter-set machines! (Click video below.) Am considering enlisting these folks to help produce my Hex Books.

I’ve begun printing the contents for the Hex Books, while still deciding on the cover/box design and the printer for the booklet containing the color grids and statement. Below you see the 560 pages of code for the first grid: < 000_MARX’S_BEARD >.
