Real printing

I’ve had a new platen press (the pre­vi­ous one burnt down in 1977) and a Kor­rex proof­ing press for a while now (see Proof­ing press upstairs). There is also quite a bit of type and every­thing else I need to start work; but I still haven’t printed any­thing. Mean­while, as reminder and inspi­ra­tion, here is a lovely video from the US show­ing busi­ness cards being printed on a platen press.

It’s easy to have a real fas­ci­na­tion with mechan­i­cal genius mar­ried to cre­ative pos­si­bil­i­ties such as that of the print­ing press, pro­duc­ing some­thing phys­i­cal to share with oth­ers.
For me, the busi­ness, wed­ding, or con­tact infor­ma­tion that they bear is merely a won­der­ful side ben­e­fit of this act of cre­ation.
Won­der­ful video, thanks for shar­ing the link, E.
