What’s your favorite part of the printing process? I love it all but I’m partial to resetting the counter before printing each job, I find it so satisfying!

My favorite is setting the furniture, it's fun to make everything fit like a puzzle

Can I get a job in letter press ?

You can use wax paper to prevent your ink from skinning in the can. Just place a piece cut larger than the opening of the can and press down until the surface of the ink is completely covered. Then each time you need some ink, just lift the edge of the paper up just enough to dig out the ink you need and then replace the wax paper to seal the ink.

Lovely machine, skills and I like the candle ink heaters too :) I spent 40 years in print, much of it on letterpress, good to see it still going

Thank you! I'm so fortunate to have turned this hobby in a career! 😊

I started my printing business with Chandler in America. Until now, I still have that machine. It's from the era of lead letters.

My press was also made during the time of lead type, it's from 1899! :)

If you want to get the best result from the golden color, like the original gold, you have to mix it with the orange color .. and you will get a very, very, very beautiful golden color.

Me too. I've never heard that before.

That makes me feel very calm and relexed for some reason

The first print after setting type. Always get a chuckle at the errors that are suddenly so obvious once Its no longer upside down and back to front.

this is such a lovely video, thank you so much for sharing

Four generations of printing! That's beautiful 💛 I wonder if my son will be interested in it too someday?

they're Henry compressible gauge pins, they're sold at letterpress supply shops (Boxcar press, etc)

this is awesome. Do you have any advise on learning the craft?

Thank you! Depending on where you're located you might be able to find a letterpress class at a Book Arts Center. Otherwise you might be able to ask a local print shop for a private lesson (that's what I did!)

They keep the ink warm enough for printing in my unheated workshop!

may I ask what are the candles for?

it's a trick I found to keep the ink disc warm! My press is in my garage which gets pretty cold in the winters and the ink needs to be at a certain temperature in order to print well 😊
