it was this adorable little self-contained printing studio, with flashbulbs that would expose a light-sensitive screen. Then you could ink the screen up and print on fabric or paper!pic.twitter.com/gjRHXpQFIw

I had the smaller one, so it only printed about 4x6", but I hand-printed the covers of a whole series of minicomics with it:pic.twitter.com/IgaEQ37POW

It became popular in the states JUST as the Japanese manufacturer decided not to make the supplies for it anymore. So about ten years ago, there was a mad scramble for the last of the bulbs and screens, and some companies that tried to pick up the mantle but eventually gave up

Ah, that sounds awesome! I’m sorry it has been discontinued. Thanks for sharing.
