I have seen this done before, many years ago, but you did a much better job explaining the process. It is late now, but tomorrow I am going to try this. With your brilliant instruction, I will be able to teach this in my art camp this fall. I would like to include your video in the written instructions, if that is ok. It would be perfect for my cartoon class!! Thanks you so much!
So glad to hear that this would be useful! Please feel free to use the video along with any other materials on www.teachprint.com! Everything on the website is made specifically for art teachers. Thank you!
It’s cool that you’ve made all these prints with a pasta maker, but you could definitely expand into other presses such as die cut presses. For example there are Sizzix die cut machines, big and small, and they’ll be easier to use than a pasta machine, plus you don’t have to stay so skinny, or necessarily so small. If viewers are interested, there’s plenty of info out there, including on TH-cam.
Gloves would be helpful here. You should still be careful about transferring contaminates picked up from another surface, but you would be safe from oils produced by your own body. This would be a great project to do with kids. There are art, history, and science lessons here. If possible, time the project prior to Christmas, Easter, or Mother's/Father's Day.
This is WILD, well done! I thought lithography demanded way way more specialized equipment! A few questions, though: What effect does the cola bath have on the foil? How do the corners help with draining (do they wick away something - water, cola, ink, etc)? Why's it necessary to use the matte side of the foil? How many prints can you get out of a foil "stencil" before it's worn out? Thanks!
I can't answer all your questions, but I can take a good stab at two of them: The cola bath has NO effect on the foil. The gum Arabic and phosphoric acid make the media you used to draw the picture on the foil (crayons, ink pens, etc) able to hold the printing ink better. The shiny side of the foil will not hold the media that you use to draw the picture. Those need the slightly rough surface of the dull side. Hope this helps.
@@patrickwilliams3108 Eep! I'm not quite sure those ingredients are listed in 'your average supermarket cola', but I'll surely take a look - thanks so much for your prompt reply, Patrick!
@@221b-Maker-Street They probably are in there. Phosphoric acid is present in most dark carbonated beverages. As for the gum Arabic ... well that may not even be in the Coke that you buy these days, but the acid will do the trick
Thank you! For this technique, only oil-based ink works (but not oil paint). I recommend: Hanco Litho Ink, Gamblin Litho Ink, Graphic Chemical Litho Ink, Cranfield Traditional Relief Inks, or Cranfield Traditional Etching Inks. :-)
Yes! You will need to register the design, though. This person’s video shows the steps pretty well! 😉 th-cam.com/video/D9PqU5WQARY/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Cool , i did lithography as a major at art school , pretty useless considering i have not had access to a press since .I wonder why they never taught us how to do something like this. 3 years of my life wasted.
Yeah, I was hoping we could all still practice printmaking without access to special equipment and facilities once we leave college. But also, hopefully, we can teach printmaking to kids and people who will never be able to access printmaking studios, too! Thanks for sharing your experience here. :)
It's not bad music but it is just loud enough that it's competing with his voice. Music should always be a little lower than the speakers voice, because when it's as loud as the speaker, many people feel like they can't concentrate on what the speaker is saying.
I would argue to just lower the volume of the music and maybe put a chiller one At least for some parts It's a chilld video and the music is loud and very... Like very exciting music, not one you would necessarly talk on
Hi, just wondering at what setting do you use on the pasta machine?, 0 being the thicket ((usually) the higher the number the more pressure of the rollers. Also the Italian make of pasta machine comes in 150mm wide (sorry dont know inches), and believe ther are other makes too, although here in South 🇦🇺 we are limited to any decent stock suppy.
I have two different brand pasta makers and their settings are actually opposite! On one of them, 0 is the tightest. On the other one, 8 is the tightest. Depending on which one you have, I would try starting with the second tightest level, especially if you’re using recycled plastic for the plate with craft felt. I sometimes adjust the pressure by adding an extra sheet of craft felt or card stock if the pressure is not tight enough. Hope it helps! ;)
This is amazing! I have questions! 1. I assume this wouldn't work with a regular litho plate because it wouldn't be flexible enough to go through the pasta machine? 2. Could these be printed on an intaglio press? 3. How long does the plate last, i.e., how large of an edition? 4. Can you use diet cola or does it have to be regular cola? Thank you so much for this video!
1. I haven’t tried the aluminum litho plate with this technique yet but they may work because they do bend a little. Worth trying but no guarantee! 2. Yes! This process also works on an intaglio press. 3. This process (without wiping the drawing material with oil) is not the ideal process for a large edition. I’m using this method to teach the litho process outside the print studio. 3-5 pulls are the best I could get. However, if you remove the drawing material with oil after the cola etch, I can get a lot more prints consistently. Please watch this video: th-cam.com/video/x4EiYPd5uzs/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared / FYI I’m planning to make an advanced version of this process. :) 4. Diet Cola works! Any drink that contains acid and gum Arabic works! I find that drinks that contains phosphoric acid works the best.
@@mizinshin So cool! Thank you so much for this. I took stone lithography ages ago and found the litho process to be kind of fussy and unwieldy-this makes it a lot friendlier.
First he says use oil based drawing tool then he grabs a sharpie and wax crayon and later says you can use them as well. Would be nice if he said what he meant from the beginning because it was confusing him saying oil then grabbing a sharpie and wax crayon, neither which are oil.
You have to watch the whole thing to the end to understand the complete process anyway, so it wasn't necessary to be dead specific at that point (and he mentions the other possible tools just moments later). What a waste of a complaint. And If you're so easily confused, then maybe avoid art entirely -- it's a subject with a lot of potential for complexity.
FYI the on screen links at the end of videos are so frustrating, especially when they pop up before the end is expected. All I want to do is go back 15 secs and instead I jump to another video because it pops up just as I’m tapping the screen. I can’t tell you how many times this has kept me from liking or leaving a comment because in most cases I’m not gonna go to the trouble of going back.

I had a few litho classes in college, and my first thought was "what are you going to do for phosphoric acid?" Coke! Brilliant! It even has the gum!
Cola holds many useful industrial chemicals within a single package.

@@mizinshin Oh I'm glad they worked for you! :)
This reminds me of the Ditto machine at the daycare when I wss growing up. It was so fun to 'help' the teachers make copies!
Don’t know if I’ll ever do this however, it was an interesting video and I loved the idea.

Great instructions, interesting art form. Been looking for a new creative outlet. This may be it! Thanks for posting.
Pasta Maker Press is now a major competitor to the Oxford University Press :-)
Congratulations, for the excellent work! You've just won a subscriber! 😊

Great. Thank you for replying. I'm really looking forward to giving this a try.
Very cleaver and great for children.
This is so crazy! Incredible idea!
oh wow, now i have a reason to buy a pasta maker ._.
Thank you, this looks so exciting, cannot wait to try.
Is it feasible to do a 2- or 3-color print using this technique?
Yes! You will need to register the design, though. This person’s video shows the steps pretty well! 😉 th-cam.com/video/D9PqU5WQARY/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Great idea!!
This will be useful when the revolution comes.
You can remove the base and place the pasta machine on its side. You can still clamp it to the table and prints can go through without bending.
Well done❤
Amazing

Can this work to print on fabric?
Yes! You can also print on fabric but smoother textures would work better. ;)
thanks for your clear tutorial.🌹
Amazing. Thank you so much for this
what kind of a pasta maker do you reccomend?
This is the pasta maker I used in this video but you can use pretty much any pasta maker as a little press!

"will help drain the cola"
Me: "say what now?"
Super cool video!
Stop with the music please. Do you play background music when you talk to people personally? Otherwise, good work.
You don’t have music playing when talking to people personally? I guess there are less interesting people in the world just to round out the numbers.
Are you one of those people who walks around with earbuds every time they're out instead of listening to the world?
Annoying music
