Profile
Office Offset is a research project by Jan Blessing, which consists of a continuously growing archive, the website and an experimental print workshop.
The term Office Offset describes fully-equipped miniature offset printing machines the size of a laser printer. It would not be an exaggeration to say that today it is a forgotten print/duplication process from the late twentieth century.
The rediscovery of these fully capable miniature offset machines marks a new era of experimental offset printing. By de-contextualising the former intended usage and in conjunction with modern technology, it is possible to transform a former duplication technology into an experimental printing technique, which offers a vast amount of options to explore offset printing, without the restrictions maybe given by an commercial printing company.
At our Office Offset print workshop we are up for any experimental exploration and are open for all kinds of collaboration with artists, institutions or publishers. In addition to print projects we also offer workshops and lectures for students or anyone else who is interested in those unique machines.
