Скачать или смотреть Production Letterpress Printing

Some video of letterpress printing on a table top press. Hand fed. Hand pulled. Totally manual process. This is just a small sample of a production run of 10,000 card imprints. The cards are to small for any other type of printing press or digital machine. A photopolymer plate was used for printing four lines of contact information onto pre-printed cards that were varnished and had a knock out left for the imprint. Oil based black in was used to ensure quick drying on the coated cards. The entire run took about ten hours over three days, including wash ups each day. Towards the end of the video you can see the Golding Jobber in the background. This was the first choice for this run, however there were motor issues that prevented it from being used.
