When we print huge pieces, two test prints are pulled: one for color and one for size. The test for size is a mag test print, or a sliver of the final image to check for resolution issues. For this project, all the images were being printed on metal, so we did color tests on paper, then color and mag tests on metal. Which yielded a LOT of 8x10” metal tests. And, once we realized how they could be used, suddenly those tests didn’t just feel like essential data before a major run, they felt like tiles that could be reimagined into something new, slightly abstract, and beautiful.
