This is fantastic. Thanks for posting, Xeni! My grandfather was a printer in San Francisco for 55 years and we still have three printing presses and about 60+ trays of type. But this — this is every geek thing I know rolled into one!

WOW! I want to emulate that. Can anyone in the know suggest what I’d need. Lego, print color, print paper of course. But the mechanics of it? Can I just manually make threee lego patterns, paint each (in turn) with a color and carefully apply the paper on top (bending it down from one direction)? Or would that likely muddle the colors or get me into alignment problems? I can’t see from any of the images on the linked sites if they use some kind of frame to secure the paper.
