Brayer, a studio companion for relief printmakers
An iPad-and-web workspace for planning reduction prints, printing 1:1 carving guides, recording studio details, tracking editions, and organizing print exchanges.
Field notes
The workflow is organized around the physical constraints of relief printing: block size, mirrored carving guides, registration marks, ink order, paper, and edition state. The reduction planner is described as exporting one 1:1 PDF page per pass, while the exchange feature covers a roster, six-character participant codes, mailing labels for Avery sheets, and a print-ready colophon. The web exchange is presented as available now; the iPad app is described as forthcoming.
