Multi-print / strikes on old cardboard...
Hello all,
As everyone on this board has come to realize(and myself also) how much I love T206 printer's scraps....I especially love T206 multi strikes .....(meaning printer used the scrap sheet a couple of times to set up the press/test sheets/clean ink/etc not to waste good cardboard for set up)...... well , the other day I was at work and printing some items(every day paperwork) when the toner half ran out of ink in the inkjet I was using.....the print job was no good, and I was having a crumby day......I put a new toner in/ and ran the last few pages out of the job..... the tray was out of paper.........so I didn't want to waste paper...... I used the existing no good ones printed and loaded the paper in upside down...... just not caring because the few sheets were no good, I didn't want to waste good paper(this has prob happened to most of us).... the final product put a huge smile on my face... the last "scrap" pages printed after the scrap paper was loaded and the fresh ink installed- had "upside" down data overlapping the faded old no good ones.....the new images were crisp ink over the half faded printed ones.... I created my own modern scrap! it put a temp smile on my face until they were run thru the shredder I thought about the thought process, of over a hundred years ago, when a simple error of the lithographer created something so beautiful to some collectors many years later.....HOW these old scraps survived the garbage can/dumpster/peoples pets/hurricanes/floods to exist today is incredible by itself....the new breed of alternative/rare/cool 206 or the like collecting....as Paul so insightfully termed the "niche" collecting that has will/has become mainstream.... I SALUTE YOU HISTORIC PRINTERS |
