The whole letterpress printing process & getting ready to print for National Get Ready Day (Sep. 21)

- We get a lot of questions from viewers about how we get ready to print in our print shop. Well, today is a great day to cover that because September 21st is National Get Ready Day!
For today, we are showing every step of the letterpress printing process. The video begins with Howard rolling out black rubber base ink on the ink stone. This is done to create an even layer of ink on the stone and brayer. The remaining ink at the top of the stone will gradually be rolled out throughout the day as we’re printing.
The next step shown is setting type from the type case and then Howard sets the type on the bed of the press. He arranges furniture and quoins to lock the type up in the metal frame called the chase.
Howard then proceeds to letterpress printing the words “Get Ready,” which was set in 36 point Stymie Bold font. The printing press used is our Washington hand press, manufactured in 1852.

Printing press asmr

외국 무슨 미술관 레터프레스 유튜브 한창 즐겨봤었는데 한국버전(?) 유튜브가 있다니 너무너무 좋아요.. 절그럭 절그럭 기계소리랑 판에 점점 채워지는 물감.. 청각과 시각 둘다 너무 행복해지는 영상이네요
Amazing, thank you for showing us how its done
たった数文字書くだけでも、たくさんの時間と労力がかかってるんだなぁ〜
味があってとっても素敵！
I still recall composition from school. Be Careful Driving Elephants Into Small Foreign Garages…from the California Job Case…Zorro Let My Name Hang Over Your Picture Window.
When I was in my 20’s there was an older man who had a typesetting business who had a press similar to yours. One year at a trade expo, he gave a demo from his collection that included individual monotype mold casting. He even dressed up as Benjamin Franklin. Much of the trade history he preserved is long forgotten and lost.
That beat goes crazy
So very satisfying. Thank you for sharing!
It's enjoyable to watch that roller. Just imagine doing that every working day 170 years ago. A lot of those guys worked until they died. For a lot of people there was no such thing as a retirement.
Honestly that looks like it would be really fun!
I'm impressed. Really! 🤩 🤩
The Best WAY to start today, Blessings Mister Howard, thank you, i love your job
Rolling out the paint got me head banging 😂
It's printing ink - not paint - though it smells similar.
Old is gold ❤
That floor!
Dear mr. Howard. I know you never make mistakes. However i am sure your more unior colleagues sometimes make mistakes. It would be great to see what could go wrong with the whole printing process.
Thank you for all your videos. Greetings from the Netherlands
I would love to see outtakes, like a compilation of them dropping things or a print that goes wonky or smears. That would be so great
I’m not allowed to post mistakes.
@@SacramentoHistoryMuseum I'm sorry English isn't my fist language. Show us what could go wrong and why things are done in this order. I do not want anyone to be put in a bad daylight
@@CakeboyRiP lol
Beautiful!
That has got to be the loudest floor boards I’ve ever heard.
Can we get a 25-30min video of this? Please 😅
Cool!👍
Get ready for ASMR!
Thank you Howard 😊👏👏. I was waiting for this video. Amazing. You could have quenched a bit more thirst by combining a wood cut out adding another line a adding a space between lines. Hoping to see that in future.
Thanks for the video ❤️
Oh my God, do you guys have some ESMR? The Sun is very good❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I found a set of old typesets similar to this with various company and organization logos and advertising graphics that appear to be early to mid-20th century. I'm curious what I can do to clean up and preserve the items. I'll be checking back in. The wooden trays the items were in were just like those shown but out of the cabinets sitting on the ground, the drawers were so badly degraded being unsalvageable, mostly reduced to dust and splinters. I noticed the heavy metallic letters in the pile of debris so I started separating those from the debris. Then a bigger surprise the press pieces with advertising from a century ago. Now I am on a mission.
Sir do u make ur own magnetic 🧲 ink with sonicator
What are the filler blocks made off?
The furniture is made out of wood.
And now we have Laser printers for the job.
Need to oil those floor boards
