In *Broken Printer*, Robak artfully blends the nuances of traditional printing with the boundless scope of generative art, inspired by the evolution of printing technology. This series pays homage to graphic design and desktop publishing, focusing on the unique aesthetics of faulty prints juxtaposed against the perfection promised by advertising. 

Beginning as a project to generate printer calibration pages, it evolved into a comprehensive emulation of Photoshop's early functionalities in code—layer styles, masking, filters, and more – with the unlocked infinite possibilities of procedural generation. Through this exploration, Robak challenges viewers to find beauty in technological imperfections, urging a reevaluation of the quest for perfection.
