In the last 7 years, the Museum of Printing has returned 47 presses to use by letterpress printers! A Golding press just arrived and it went from trailer to hoist to skid to pallet jack. It will be re-assembled & refurbished by our amazing volunteers. #VolunteersAtWorkWednesday

Set against the tech hub backdrop of San Francisco, this institution helps keep the traditional craft of letterpress printing alive

How books are entirely handmade at the last printing press of its kind

Arion Press is the last printing press in the US where books can go from the type foundry, to the press room, to the bindery all in one place.

Museum volunteer Mitchel Ahern brought a historic press back to life recently by replacing the leather straps on an 1837 Stansbury press made by Isaac & Seth Adams. These straps help move the platen. The press will be used for letterpress demos. #VolunteersAtWorkWednesday

With the developments of technology letterpress printing has never been made easier! 📰 By using this process you can easily customise any item in various ways and is reusable instead of creating a word plate. Learn more about letterpress printing here: ow.ly/zTu650JWA7g

Letterpress printer Ben Blount captures the feeling of time flying by—while also passing so slowly—with Blursday, a seven-run print that layers all of the days of the week on top of one another. Grab a print at blountobjects.com. @BeenBlunt #BigCartel #ShopIndie
