calendar printing @TLP

Oh it’s a good feeling,

not only getting my edition of 100 calendar prints

completed in record time,

but not having a single one get screwed up in the process.

Things were much easier this time, now that we

have the necessary bits to

lock the jig down to the base of the letterpress.

This made a huge difference, in the past the jig would either

slide around or lift up at one end

when the roller passed over it.

Susan’s expertise was essential at this point

since I had pretty much forgotten

everything that I learned in letterpress class!

Once we got the jig and

pressure issues worked out, the actual

printing went smoothly and I was done

in two hours!
