Time to print…lights out! Antiquated printing technology meets eighties sci-fi aesthetic in this special Tron-niversary Edition of DIY Friday. Enjoy…
DIY: to make your own, you’ll need a Charles Brand etching press, rolls of 1/8″ glow-in-the-dark tape, and a utility knife.

Holy Cats!
Jason. That’s your press right?
I’m absolutely amazed. Yet not really surprised.
ssssssssssomebody has some free time to spare….
gee, kvh, some of us can’t spend the summer jetsetting around the world reviewing major art biennials.
I don’t see why that should be my problem though….
LOVE IT! Will you come do that to my Honda?
Finally. After years of veiled innuendo and whispered insinuations, someone is courageous enough to make an explicit statement about the similarities between Tron and printmaking.
Printmaking, the relationship is as clear as the mustache on your face! Why have you denied Tron for so long?
Where did you buy the glow in the dark tape?
that’s the shit. I know what I’m doing to my synths if I’m ever unfortunate enough to have to perform live. ^.^
Can-Do Tape… http://www.can-dotape.com/safety-tape.htm
I ordered a bunch back in 2003 for an installation (http://www.jasonurban.com/nightlight.html). I had them custom cut it to 1/8″.
Excellent! Very cool. Sweet installations, thanks for the tip!
its all fun and games til someone embosses a finger trying to print in the dark

So wait. He took a picture, taped the entire printing press, and took another picture in the exact same angle? He had a tripod there the entire time? What about the other pictures in different angles? How are those possible?
Questions
No. The press was taped. Then I took pictures with lights on and off. Yes, I did use a tripod.
Ah.
