    During the first week of June 2025, Carlos Alguacil —director and print technician at Rittagraf— led an intensive workshop at BilbaoArte focused on the stamp as a graphic tool. Through manual, photomechanical, and digital techniques such as laser engraving, participants explored the wide expressive and visual potential of this form of printmaking.

    It was a collective experience where tradition, technology, and graphic creation came together in an exceptional working environment.

    At Rittagraf, we are passionate about exploring and sharing printmaking techniques that blend tradition with innovation. In this article, we introduce polyester printmaking—a contemporary method of image transfer and printing that uses polyester plates printable with laser printers.
    This technique simplifies the traditional lithographic process by eliminating the need for chemicals or specialized equipment, allowing artists and designers to create printing plates quickly, cleanly, and efficiently.

    During the last weekend of March, we hosted two workshops dedicated to polyester printmaking; a non-toxic printmaking technique that combines laser-printed digital matrices with planographic printing logic.
    It was an intense and enriching experience where we shared knowledge, techniques, and different ways of understanding contemporary printmaking.
