Hallo Andreas, many thanks!

I was following the progress of your 'Duel in the Edo Street' - very impressive! My stuff is a little smaller tho'

In answer to your question, I use a bog standard ink-jet to print out my patterns and textures, then rough them up, stain them and apply liberal layers of dust and ash to weather them; takes the pristine newness down several notches, and protects the printed surface, it also hides any white edges and many, many mistakes

These last couple of days have been the first bits of good weather we've had this year so far, hopefully it will last until the end of the week... my cat always likes to get involved too...
Many thanks again,
S.
