</p><p>Thus, Printeria has been conceived as both and <b>educational and bioartistic tool</b>. With a <b>user-friendly</b> software, it can introduce SynBio into the <b>high school classrooms</b> without the necessity of expensive lab equipments. In the same way, it offers a wide range of opportunities for the <b>bioartist disposal</b>. </p><p>

To know how we have designed a compact high-tech device and how we have developed an intuitive software for the user learning, you can check the <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Hardware" target="_blank"> Hardware page </a> and <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Software" target="_blank"> Software page </a>, respectively.</p>

<p>To prove Printeria social <b>usefulness</b>, we have explored <b> Printeria impact possibilities</b> into society. Moreover, we have fighted against common misconceptions in regard to genetic engineering and bacteria stigma, so creating a <b>willing atmosphere</b> for the <b>synbio integration</b>. </p>

<p>While creating our <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Part_Collection" target="_blank">Printeria Part Collection</a>, we wanted to provide bioartists with a complete <b>DNA toolkit</b> for their <b>artwork production</b>. To do so, we assembled several transcriptional units with our different colour reporters (<b>GFPmut3, sfGFP, YGP, mRFP1, amilCP </b>) and a variety of promoteres and RBS to get different tones.

<p>Thanks to the knowledge and advices gathered as part of our <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Integrated_Human" target="_blank">Integrated dialogue</a> with bioartist María Peñil and his researcher collegue Mehmet Berkmen, we decided to explore the <b>Microbial Art</b> field: the creation of masterpieces with microbial living cells. </p>

<p>Thanks to the information gathered as part of our <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Integrated_Human" target="_blank">Integrated</a> dialogue with artist professionals, such as María Peñil and his collegue Mehmet Berkmen, we decided to explore the Microbial Art field: creation of masterpieces with microbial living cells such as bacteria </p>.
<p>Thus, we used our bacterial palette to introduce, both <b>ourselves</b> and the <b>general public</b>, into the <b>Microbial Art</b>. As recommended by María, we tried  several painting techniques, such as directly pipetting liquid medium or using inoculating loops as brushes, to know which one fitted better with our bacterial growth. Indeed, we even sent some of our <b>Printone samples</b> to María and Mehemet, as they were really interested in testing themselves the use of our <b>genetic modified microorganisms</b> to paint their own artworks. </p>
