Reflecting on the talk, the printers will be an important asset to keep in mind whenever designing sustainable work. Particularly, for our studio brief 2 which revolves around ethics. Other possible avenues could be to use them, within my cop module when representing a postmodern standpoint. Their views and values create a anti capitalist ideology which could be useful implementing within my visual practice undertaking.
