My first impression

Briarpressers -

Tonight was the first night I printed on my new-to-me press.

I over inked the disc and the Morgan Expansion Trucks are all out of whack, but all-in-all it was a great experience!

Welcome aboard!

But be warned, printing can be addictive and antibiotics won’t cure it

Awesome.

To avoid counters closing up consider a lighter weight style. Ultra bold counters are very small which can plug up if ink and pressure is not perfect.

Thanks for the heads up on that. The only issue is, that’s the only full fonts I have. I think its Spartan. The Vocational School that this equipment came from must have loved it. I have it in many different sizes.
