New Brioche / Letterpress for All! Zine: Rainbow Rolls: How to print with gradient inks!'

By Amanda Wyatt Visconti

I just published a 32-page zine: “Rainbow Rolls: How to print with gradient inks! (aka split fountains; for Vandercook & cylinder presses)” teaching you how to do gradient inking for letterpress on floor cylinder presses with inkable rollers (especially powered rollers).

#6 in my Letterpress for All! series of zine tutorials and advice aimed at making letterpress more accessible (including financially and physically) for more people. 1-4 are done but pending journal issue publication (Summer 2026?); 6 & 8 are out, 5 & 7 are drafted are drafted.

For more info or to read, download, print the zine (all free!), visit ZineBakery.com/homemade/rainbowrolls.
