デザイン、印刷手法、紙の種類は、いわば無限とも言える中からのひとつの選択だ。その判断の基準はあるのだろうか。そんなデザイン、印刷、紙という切っても切り離せない関係がデザイン表現に果たす役割は小さくない。ふだんなにげなく目にしている印刷物の数々。しかし、その印刷物ひとつができあがる過程には、いくつもの選択肢を通過している。デザインというソフト、印刷というハード、紙という素材を駆使した30種に及ぶ用紙と特殊インクにより刷分けた実験作品と、日頃目に触れることの少ないアメリカの紙メーカー8社の優れたアイデアや新鮮なデザインのプロモーションを展開。

An artist has almost limitless options when selecting a design, printing method, and paper. Is there any criterion for the selection? The relationship among design, printing, and paper has no small effect on the resultant work. We come across a lot of printed matter every day without paying much attention to it. Nevertheless, it passes through a number of processes before reaching its final form. Experimental items of work using the software called design, hardware called a printer, and material called paper, as well as the wonderful ideas of U.S. paper manufacturers and daring designs by American artists, are on display. Exhibition Summary: With the same kind of plates, materials and ink are changed to see the changes in the design. Experimental works with a poster printed on almost 30 kinds of paper and with special inks. New promotional tools from 8 American paper manufacturers were also exhibited.
