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! This is fantastic. Thanks for posting, Xeni!

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. WOW!
