Synopsis
"Letterpress Printing" is the comprehensive source book for beginning and intermediate letterpress printers. Using clear explanations of technical terms and over eighty illustrations, the manual describes presses, ink, paper, press operation, type and photopolymer plates. The book shows how to set up and run small and large platen presses, and Vandercook and Challenge-style hand cylinder presses. One chapter provides details about presses recommended by the author; another chapter explains how to equip and arrange a new letterpress shop. Also discussed are how to plan and design projects, how to move presses and equipment, and how to use lead and solvents safely. This is an up-to-date work for students and fine-press printers wishing to sharpen their skills.
