There is a piece of software which will take a word document and convert it into an embossed 3D print file. So you could always just skip the middleman and 3D print yourself a plaque version of your document instead.

Just print it, roll some ink on it and slap a sheet of paper on top. There you go, printing 2.0 or something.

That sounds like a 15th century printing press with extra steps.

Kind of, but with less wood and a lot more micro plastics. That's how you can tell it's modern.

I used to have wood a lot more often, before microplastics.
