Information on di-litho

The di-litho technology, a lithographic technology in which the printing plate prints directly onto the printing substrate, was basically uniquely created for newspaper printing. The benefit from this technology was that conventional letterpress rotary printing presses could be used. The printing units of these presses have been modified by the installing of a dampening unit.

Printing was done with conventional printing plates, however a special coating needed to be applied to them because of the very high tension because of the direct contact with the paper and the high stability with the full print run necessary in newspaper printing or the more expensive art-litho printing.

Information on Bolermo Group (issuer of these lithos)

Bolermo was an unofficial and not quite formel group, founded in 1995 and organized by Viktor Boler. The group was helping young and upcoming artists, designers, sculptors etc. by giving them the materials for creating their ‘art’ and amongst these materials were the printing machines for graphics and etchings using different techniques. Amongst these techniques : the Di-Litho ! These printed Di-Lithos were extra painted with oil and/or aquarel and sometimes with mixed materials to give an unexpected and unique ‘touch’ of the once existing ‘images’. But it also means that a lot of the Di-Lithos are non-authorized by the original artist and as such extremely rare and sought after artefacts !

The name Bolermo which the group used for printed material came directly from the founder himself as he used to sign with Boler. Due to a persistence illness of Viktor Boler, the group was dissolved in 2012 and completely closed down. The heirs of V. Boler sold the existing stock of printed and re-worked lithos during public auctions and as such came into my possession.
