Our GR3770 has been with us since the days Diskette was operated out of Carta's bedroom back in 2017. It's been a decade now and Babygirl (as she's become known) has been joined by a GR3750 (Jellybean) along with 15 working drums. They're two workhorses that have enabled us to create some real masterpieces, but with our recent increase in production schedule, we've come to realize we need a more modern machine for better reliability and throughput.\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiskette Press continues to ramp up our output after a monumental 2026. We've got a couple dozen books under our belt, and we're looking forwards to a 2027 with even more ambitious projects. Not only that, but we're already had to do multiple reprints of books we published just months prior!

What sort of press we end up getting is up to you! The more we raise, the better press we can get! Ideally, we'll be shooting for at least an SF, but the real goal is an MZ or a MF dual-drum Risograph. Two colors in a single pass will quite literally double our production speed!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, we'll also be able to get more drums based on how well the fundraiser is doing! Given that we're moving from GR to a newer model line, we'll also have to purchase new drums to get back to our current wide range of colors (15!). We're prepared to have a limited palette on our new machine of some primaries and black to start with, but you can start us off right with a few extras of our most popular colors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Diskette Press","offers":[{"title":"Anthology","offer_id":68096752418965,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tote","offer_id":68096752451733,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Anthology \u0026 Tote","offer_id":68096752484501,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Print","offer_id":68131995746453,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0029\/0507\/9908\/files\/front_and_back.png?v=1793638234","url":"https:\/\/diskettepress.com\/products\/beloved","provider":"Diskette Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
