If we take the definition of a 'print' as anything made in a reproducible format then the pen plotter should fit right in with more traditional printmaking techniques. This print is a combination of wood block printing and gel pen plotting.

@j_cammarata_art I love the combination of wood/vinyl print and pen plotting. I assume you did the woodblock part first?

@tgk the yellow block was printed first, then the pens, and the white block was printed on top

@j_cammarata_art 💯 yes! Printmaking definitely feels like a welcoming space for pen plotting and generative art to me.

@jimmykl with the Shaper Origin CNC router I recently picked up my workflow lately goes back and forth from digital to physical in a way I really enjoy. Using CAD to set up SVGs for routing and plotting.

@j_cammarata_art oh man, one of those is on my wishlist. So much more convenient than buying/building a big flatbed CNC

@jimmykl it is but you still have to manually operate it vs. just hitting send to a bed style CNC. That being said and since I don't have much garage space, I love it. Waited a long time to buy but so worth it.

@j_cammarata_art True, I seem to end up spending a lot of time watching machines work anyway so that probably wouldn't make too much difference 😆
