After taking an excellent class at Albertine Press over a year ago and lurking on Briar Press for what seems like a very long time, I finally have a starter press!
My Baltimore #11 press should be arriving in the next week and I have the basics (some type, spacers, tympan paper, guide pins). In the meantime, I am trying to read up on letterpress and am thinking about what else I need to gather to do my first run.
Any thoughts, resources (especially for paper or ink), or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
