Letterpress Tips

Log in to send email

This site is a letterpress primer or tutorial. I have tried to present systematically printing lore that I have found in the past to be useful to those who have some experience in letterpress, and who want to increase their craft knowledge. My remarks about presswork are those of a journeyman pressman.

Subjects covered are lockup, packing, makeready, ink and color, slurs, and a variety of other subjects.
