And Southern Ink decided to spin off its letterpress ink product into a new line, Blue Press Ink, so I got some PANTONE Yellow, Green and Mixing Black to check things out.

Renters printing 70 year old plates a great aunt used, with a frisket to mask off an incorrect surname. If you're local, why not come in, learn to print, and rent yourself? 👍

Ooooh, ahhhhhh!
Six centuries of type & printing arrived today. That's a lot of type & printing!

Earlier this week I had someone come in to start the process of printing a chapbook the OG way -- hand-setting 10pt type.

Piggy pig-pigs for the Ludlow obtained today from the good old Museum of Printing in Haverhill.

The small wooden type cabinet I got free over the summer has been redistributed and ID'd. Some fun faces like Parisian, Engravers Text and Greeting Monotone in there.

Finally have the time and energy to get all that free type from the summer organized and labeled. One type cabinet done! And a good number of empty cases for needy type looking for a good home.

Finally got to distribute the two fonts of John Hancock Condensed 36pt I acquired a couple months back. Have a choice selection of letterforms.

The Ludlow proof of concept is a roaring success. That's 500 business cards run 4-up on varying shades of Favini Crush. No jacking with tiny type, just plug-n-chug.

Did a typesetting demo for the Intermediate: Definition class, was too good an opportunity to pass up.
