Ten years of experimentation previously available only within limited workshops is presented for artists interested in exploring this new genre of digital/ mixed media. Topics include:

The book has 160 pages, includes 300 full-color illustrations with step-by-step instructions. It is priced at $29.95. One of the demonstrations from page 38 - 389, Base Method; Preparing Nonwoven Fabric has been posted to give a sense of the way the content is presented. Responses to frequently asked questions and updates are also posted.

Update: please note that Oce no longer sells the FCPLS4 film used for creating transfers with printers with pizza wheels (see Chapter 5). If we discover a replacement product we will post it here.
