Real Printing

We take laser printers, inkjet printers and all the other modern ways of copying for granted. But is it always the best way?

Yesterday, I needed some postcards to be printed for Daisy MI to be printed. So I went down to the printers in Newmarket.

Nothing unusual except that Studlands Printing still uses letterpress for three quarters of the work it does. My post cards will probably be printed on an Original Heidelberg, that was made sometime in the 1950's. They were an old design then!

Pride and joy though is an 1860 poster press. Manual of course! And extremely busy producing the door cards for the sales at Tattersalls.
