Intaglio Hand Engraved by Jackson Robinson - LIVE on KS
Well I haven't ever really started my own deck thread or a WIP (work in progress) thread but I figured this would be just a good a time as any.
This is a deck I've been developing for almost a year now. The development so far has mainly been laying the ground work and building relationships with printers and such but I'm to a point where I'm finally seeing a little daylight with it.
Intaglio will be a full deck of cards that will be 100% hand engraved on copper printing plates and printed in much the same way cards were printed in the 15th-17th centuries. Even the tuck case itself will be hand engraved an intaglio printed. The back designs will be printed on black core stock with actual gold flake ink. The faces will be printed separate on white core stock then both front and back will be dublexed together much like USPCC sandwiches their paper together. I hope to make detailed images and videos of the entire process start to finish. It will be a mountain of work as every card even the index cards will be hand engraved. Below I have included a very early image of one of my early tests. The court card featured on the test plate is nothing like the courts of the final Intaglio deck but it gives you idea of the process. The test plate was hand engraved into Cronite Steel. Cronite steel is the same printing plates most government agencies use to create their bank notes.
More to come later but I hope you enjoy the journey with me. This deck will truly be something very special.

That seems like A LOT of work. Is the juice worth the squeeze? We'll see, but I bet so.

Re: Intaglio - Hand Engraved deck by Jackson Robinson
This is awesome news! I'm especially interested since the Duality deck, which also was being created using the intaglio process, never made it and I'm beginning to wonder if it will come back at all. I would be curious to know what differences/similarities between your planned process and what was proposed here.
More importantly, do you have a price point range and run size in mind? I'm concerned this might not be very accessible with the proposed features and design method. Although if it ends up being as awesome I think it will be, especially if the colors and printing ends up looking naturally weathered/old on top of it, I may have to break some rules for this one!

Re: Intaglio - Hand Engraved deck by Jackson Robinson
I wont lie at all, but the fully engraved decks will be pricy do to the simple fact that the entire process will have been totally by hand and never touch a computer. This also means the print run will be very very small. With that said I will be digitizing the art to create a traditionally printed deck that will be priced at the more accustomed price for those of you who would like to enjoy the art without the elevated price.ecNate wrote:This is awesome news!

Unbelievable! I can't even imagine how amazing these will turn out. Please. PLEASE tell me you will be offering tiers that will allow people to get two of them..? As a collector, my particular flavor of collecting means I have to have one that will stay sealed, but as someone that appreciates the process immensely I would very much so like to get to feel that level of craftsmanship. Either way I am in for however much of my rent check you want.

Re: Intaglio - Hand Engraved deck by Jackson Robinson
At this point there is no way for me to put a value on the hand made decks as almost all of the steps are so different than the normal printing process. iE printing on two different colored stocks for on single card, printing wth actual gold flake ink (in actually looks like and is liquid gold) having the tuck case engraved and printed in the same way. There will even be 53-56 (depending on the number of final cards/plates) editions that will include on of he actual copper printing plates used in the printing.
The non engraved decks will most likely land around $11-$12 not including shipping when all said and done but as for he the engraved decks I have no idea not even a reasonable ball bark. I know that's not any help but I wanted to try a offer a more "behind the scenes" approach in this one cuz there are so many new things going on.

Re: Intaglio - Hand Engraved deck by Jackson Robinson
Thanks for letting us in on your project, Jackson. This looks quite awesome. Your idea of offering the contemporary printing as well as the manual printing is a fantastic idea; it's like you're creating and making available your own restoration decks.
Looking forward to more news about this one. What a great idea for a project.

I agree, I have always been appreciative to Jackson for producing 'unlimited' versions of his limited decks.

Re: Intaglio - Hand Engraved deck by Jackson Robinson
Here are some images of my hand engraving rig. This is where the entire Intaglio deck will be engraved. You can see one of the actual copper printing plates in the anvil now. The card I'm working on now is just a test / practice card so it's nothing like the final courts.

I can't imagine how you'll mirror the image for a two way deck. Working on these, even just testing, must be very straining (intense) for you.
How thick is the copper plate?

Very cool. Eitherway it is incredibly impressive and I cannot wait to see the final product. In pictures. Because even if I am able to get one, it will stay pristine and perfectly unopened.

Re: Intaglio - Hand Engraved deck by Jackson Robinson
My plan with this deck will be for sure to create two different versions. There will be the low run 100% hand engraved and hand printed deck, I then will digitize all of the engraved art and then add color to it to create a traditionally printed deck that will be priced like a traditional deck.Justin O. wrote:Very cool.

Re: Intaglio - Hand Engraved deck by Jackson Robinson
Really looking forward to this, but that looks like a bunch of expensive equipment we're going to be financing. Seriously though, this should be absolutely incredible. I can't wait to see what scroll work design you have envisioned for the back plates. Just hope I'll be lucky enough to get one of the hand printed ones.
