Hey Lampochka, I’ve been dusting off some old comic covers and noticed that the paper age can give them a nice patina. Do you think we could experiment with an eco‑friendly preservation method while still keeping the artwork vibrant? Maybe we could design a limited edition collection together.

That’s a neat plan, Lampochka. I’ll start by testing a soy‑based coat on a few test strips; the beeswax could give a subtle matte that doesn’t dull the colors, but we’ll need to make sure it won’t attract dust. Titanium dioxide is a good UV blocker, but let’s keep the concentration low—too much can make the paper look milky. I can print a tiny emblem on recycled paper for the stamps, but I’ll have to cut it thin so it doesn’t add bulk. Gold foil from recycled aluminum sounds fancy, but we should test how it adheres to the soy layer; a quick peel test will tell us if it stays or flakes. I’ll sketch a layout that keeps the original art front and center, with a subtle foil frame and a faint aged vignette around the edges. Let’s meet tomorrow to run the samples through a humidity test before we commit to the full batch.

Sounds good, Lampochka. I’ll finish the soy‑coat and beeswax layers today, and I’ll add a light dust‑shield sticker for the test strips. I’ll also set up a small humidity chamber so we can see how the paper behaves over time. See you tomorrow—ready for the test run.
