Maybe tight one side, loose above?

true. at the moment it is simply because i can... and there isn't a client to fuss and worry over it.
it's one of those jobs where you produce the plate/stamp mix the inks and just see what you get.
the concept we are trying to put into everything we can in our new office is reuse of waste. not to be mixed up with ya normal recycling, which is the reprocessing of waste into new material... close cropping does't really figure in that!
the easy option for us is sticking with the rough potato printing... which will be sloppy and skewed - guaranteed!
bin thinking i might go with potato printing to save time. got to build the desks for the new office over the next few days. we are using reclaimed wood which will look great... but will know doubt cause a few sweary words getting installed.
the pics are of the old trestles that will support large roofing timber worktops. going to look tops in our office - which is a studio in an old carpet factory.
a meeting table made out of steamed flat whiskey barrel wood is in the pipeline. fun stuff.
