Type on the press.

Printed page.

Unfortunately missing certain letters (Luxembourg case) I can’t print the page in one go and have to print the missing part in a second run. So I have to fill up with furniture till I reach the end of the text which is already printed, being careful to start at the correct line.

To reach the right line I decided to measure with spaces rather then with a ruler. A 20 point + a 2 point space make up for one line of text plus it’s 2 point lead.

This years greetings are somehow different from the other years: smaller in size, printed on my Adana 5×8.

Have a look at this lovely lady from Japan operating the press (no the same model, but same principle of operation).

The chase for the woodengraving:
