Morgan Line-o-scribe?

Where are you located? Someone in your area might be willing to let you try one.

There are a few models of the Line-o-Scribe. Some have a self inking unit, while others must be inked with a brayer. The self inking unit is good for long runs, but with patience you can use brayers to apply two or more colors to a single form.

You can adjust the impression to print on anything from onion skin to railroad board. Great for show cards and signs. You can get the deep impression that is popular today, but it is difficult to maintain good ink coverage and deep impression with large type and solids. I haven’t tried poly plates on one.

Printing is slow going, as you must ink the form, place the paper in the clamp, roll the impression unit across the paper, remove the paper, and return the impression unit for each print. In a pinch I have printed napkins on one, but I’m not convinced that it is the right tool for invitations. However, in the right hands the simplest of tools can be used to produce master pieces.

I’m in Ohio near Cincinnati. Thanks for all the info. That doesn’t sound like something I would want to make invites on. Thanks for all your help!!
