Another part of the process with the now familiar printer manual: Scrumpling!
Both before and after the inky stage, scrumpling the paper helps it dry unevenly
Uneven drying makes for gorgeous textural effects.
With sharp folds the fibres of the paper is damaged just enough to make it super absorbant, and make for darker lines and patterns.
The inks run to and through the chanels formed by the creases

And I think this is how user manuals should end up! we are much better served with art than indecipherable instructions, whatever the multiple languages suggest…..

Indeedy! It’s given me lots of ideas too – so much unused papery stuff festering away when it can be brightened up like this!!
