This image is too weird not to post… it is Valentine’s Day, after all. It comes from Le Tampographe Sardon, a French blog dedicated to rubber stamps. You may want to bookmark the site; it has tons of other strange stuff for the rubber stamp enthusiast.

There have been no shortage of lamentations about The Death of Print at the hand of digital media but it’s not dead yet, right? In fact, I’ve heard whispers in dark corridors about a new relationship between analog and digital- a symbiotic relationship where the two compliment rather than compete. Which brings me back to QR codes…

QR codes are a bar code technology that allow print media to link cell phone users directly to the web. The example above is a code for “printeresting.org.” Any number of QR generators are available online- you type in your information and the code generator translates it into code. You put that QR code on your poster or magazine or postcard and anyone with a phone can scan the code and walk away with information. You can commonly find QR codes on UPS shipping labels- they’re used extensively to track packages. And perhaps not surprisingly, they’re also being used a lot for advertising. Here’s a “designer” QR code by Takeshi Murakami for Louis Vitton…

Shapeways is a pretty amazing 3D printing company that we’ve talked about before. One component of their site is dedicated to stamp making: Shapeways Stampmaker. QR codes can be easily configured into stamps. Here’s an example of someone merging simple printing methods with QR code to yield high tech results. The real world and the virtual world just got closer.

Over the last week or two, this little device from Cargo Collective has been busy making the rounds throughout the blogosphere. It’s too print-related for Printeresting not to follow suit with a quick post. It’s pretty self-explanatory so I’ll let the pictures do the talking.


Ever the sucker for some good information graphics, I couldn’t not include a pic of the user’s manual. I may enjoy the instructional images as much as the object itself.
What’s next- kitchen-friendly Tetris-inspired multiples?

Because not everyone is going to China this summer… Big Cartel offers these stamp sets based on Chinese architectural forms. The modular units are used to “build” your own buildings. Hours of fun for $35- pretend that you’re there for a mere fraction of the cost of a flight to China. Here’s a flickr set documenting the possibilities.
