(trilema) nubbins`: it's because the creators didn't know wtf they were doing and were unable to pull clean prints

(trilema) nubbins`: "got a chance to look at a bunch up close in a gallery in hawaii, the ink was caked on and cracked all over. He used a bunch of different printers. the actual production of the art was no biggie, he just found images with halftones already and blew them up in a camera, or if he took the polaroids when he was doing all the portraits, he added a halftone small, then blew them up to make them go ratty. rubies were cut (or stencils) for b/g,

(trilema) nubbins`: i could silkscreen PCBs with this setup if i was OK with the fumes and caustic chems
(trilema) nubbins`: asciilifeform silkscreening is silkscreening, the only major differences are (a) the emulsion spread on screens to hold images, and (b) the inks
(trilema) nubbins`: "OK" should give an idea of what's been added)
