Abstract
Analogue printing is a process that originated from the encounter between art and technology, and its purpose lies in the impression and reproduction of images and words. At a time when paper is increasingly being marginalised in favour of digital media, it is necessary to shine a light on a medium characterised by a rich history and sensitivity. Only by making printing accessible to everyone is it possible to pass on tradition and know-how and transform them into a shared heritage for future generations. Open Shapes of Print was born in response to the perception that analogue printing is disappearing and aims to redesign existing machinery in the sector, which is often imposing and expensive, through the Open Design approach.
The movement's mission is to bring attention back to analogue printing, enhancing its cultural significance while making it more accessible
