It went through just fine on the highest setting (which is based on gsm). Just know that the printer can’t lay down large areas of toner without getting that “cracked” look on the lettra. I just used it for text and it worked just fine with oil based ink that had dried…[Read more]

I’d say it really paid off! They are fabulous, and I will enjoy them every day since they will be hung in the pressroom. Great job ladies!

With mineral spirits I use less and it goes further. I do not keep a spare set of rollers.Hope that helps!

It is going to be in 3 stages – the base, the press, and the wheel, treadle, chase (other removable parts).I had a small pearl no. 1 in the basement as well and all together that one weighed about what the main press of the no. 11 weighs. It’s manageable…[Read more]

I think it’s okay- but it will probably add a little pollution to the real craft of letterpress. It’ll be interesting to see what the consensus is.

Is there going to be a deadline for entries so we know a quantity? Are we sending to everyone involved or just a limited few?Great idea!

I know there is a thing as “over-tightening” as well… I tried a few things to no avail. I will be leveling this weekend. Thanks so much 🙂

I want to have red edges for my cards and wanted to do it by myself instead of sending it out. So far, I’ve tried a few things – acrylic paint seems to work best, but I still sometimes get a little fiber tearing. I only let it sit for about 1 minute then I pull them apart to dry entirely…[Read more]
