Letterpress Tips

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.

Most everything a beginner in letterpress should know is covered by Brian Donnell in a tutorial. Subjects covered are lockup, packing, makeready, ink and color, slurs, and a variety of other subjects. This should be required reading for all aspiring (and practicing) letterpress printers. THANK YOU BRIAN!
