SKIP KLEPACKI
demo d3-e3: litho-sphere 2015: A collaboration
Skip Klepacki began his career in the lithographic plate industry in 1967 when ball-grained plates were still preferred by many commercial printers. After completing degrees in Engineering and Management Science at Tufts University and MIT, he acquired an interest in Precision Lithograining Corporation and supplied ball grained plates to fine art printmakers until relocating the company in 1992. Since that time the company has produced millions of commercial offset plates for distributors such as Kodak, Fuji, and Konica. His company developed the first high-resolution chemical-free aluminum lithographic plates in the industry. After retiring in 2005, Skip began a collaboration with Dwight Pogue at Smith College in 2009 to adapt the latest bio-friendly and sustainable technologies for use by fine art printmakers. Many results of this collaboration are contained in Printmaking Revolution, authored by Dwight Pogue. Skip resides in Florence, MA and continues to work on printmaking technologies.
