Scope and Contents

This portfolio, solicited and collated by Fluke and Risseeuw, was shown for the first time at the Cortona International Print Symposium: A Print Odyssey 2001. The editors define sock as "...in printing, the use of heavy pressure, usually on dampened paper, to drive types that may be uneven or worn deep into the paper for a readable text." They defined Kiss as "...in printing, a light impression with just enough pressure to transfer the ink from type to paper, leaving no permanent indentation in the paper." The paper stock for the prints varies widely as do the techniques of printing. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
