Special printing techniques and paper stocks create a dazzling feat of book art in homage to a master printer
Swiss printer Lorenz Boegli guards the secrets surrounding his recipes and processes like the inventors of old. This legendary master of screen printing has developed his technique to attain a degree of excellence unmatchable by other printing processes, and his technique of RGB printing with pearlescent pigments is used by the finest fashion, watch and jewelry brands for their packaging and printed matter.
This gorgeously produced publication expresses and embodies Boegli’s talents exquisitely. Combining silkscreen with offset printing on eight exquisite paper stocks and text contributions done in letterpress, Lorenz Boegli: Alchemy in Print is a dazzling work of book art. Experts from various disciplines shed light on the metaphor of alchemy in relation to Boegli’s mastery and its significance. Boegli, the Grafiche Antiga printing house and the traditional Italian paper manufacturer Fedrigoni collaborated on the volume’s production.
