[PROJECT]Nihei :: NOiSE :: Research

This article has visual descriptions of my research process...

I figured I would start with a simple manga that could serve as an example for future projects. The manga chosen was: NOiSE by Tsutomu Nihei

So I've been messing around with the new acquisition of the Epson 4800 printer. I printed full spreads (in draft mode) on 20lb bond paper, with 1/4 graph printed on one side.

Draft printing of a full page spread @17in x 22in.
Size comparison
Comparative image showing the original print 5"x7.5" and draft printed signature 11"x17". Due to the thin, uncoated nature of 20lb bond, you can see the print from the back side.
right-to-left imposition
This book was published in the original Japanese right-to-left imposition. I've had to manually impose each signature.
