Letterpress is a craft that dates back to Gutenberg's invention of moveable type that transformed Western society, religion, and government. Many of today's letterpress printers use antique machines with a modern twist - disposable plates that allow us to transform computer type and imagery onto plates, which can mount into the old presses. The careful balance of ink levels, roller height, packing, and paper selection, are in line with the skill and labor printers have practiced for centuries.
