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.
