Printed in two inks on 120 gsm maplitho, on our rescued Risograph RP 3700, who is named Meenu and jams when it rains.
This year we printed 41 posters, emptied 11 tubes of ink, and jammed the master roll exactly once. It was October. We do not talk about October.
The club is still what it was in 2019: a room above a cycle shop, one machine, and whoever shows up on Sunday with an idea worth 300 copies. Some weeks that is nine people. Some weeks it is two people and a dog.
We pasted posters for a beach cleanup, a Carnatic gig that moved venues twice, and a lost cat named Idli. Idli came home. We take full credit.
A poster is a shout that stays on the wall after you have gone home.
Thank you for buying this. The money buys ink. The ink buys another year.
With ink on our hands,
Meenakshi V., convener
