“Tunnel I” poster
Program poster for Tunnel, a club in Glarus, Switzerland. Letterpress printed from hand-cut linoleum, cast Ludlow slugs (Ludlow Condensed Gothic) and wood type (Meier-Schrift).
In the video you see that with the same printing elements, a total of three program posters for in two sizes have been produced. A tricky system to be able to print two sizes from the same printing formes. Firstly, the split-fountains have been printed on large sheets for both the small and the large posters. Then the sheets for the small posters got cut in half to be overprinted with just the upper half of the linoleum cut. Then they got cut in half again to be finished on a smaller press. The large versions stayed uncut and got finished on the large press, printed with the same hand-cut linoleum block. Watch the whole video, you’ll figure it out!
