Some attempts at letterpress.


So when I get actual type, and don't have to resort to using metal leather stamping letters, I will probably get better results.
Also, I think I'll try to use my intaglio ink instead of the water-based block printing ink. Oh, and nicer paper. Hmph.

The instructions that came with my bottle jack are super shoddy. They told me what to do, but did not tell me how to do it (or where, for that matter, the release valve was located).

Lesson learned: Turn valve too far to the left, spill oil everywhere.

I love letterpress



I am currently bidding on some type on ebay. Perhaps it is time to finish my table-top press.

Douglas Wilson

I don't know much about Douglas Wilson, other than that he has good taste, and also seems to be interested in hand painted signs, letterpress, and vintage design.

His blog is full of gems.
