    Oooh! Looks like someone gouges their ink! Even if you don’t use it, scoop out all the dried ink and dispose of it. Then using your spatula, smooth an even layer of ink parallel to the level of the tin can. A can of gouged ink gives more surface area for the ink to dry and renders the ink unusable.
    Just a heads up from someone who learned the hard way by gouging the shop ink and being “ostracized” by my professors and techs.

    Such an awesome sound

    • @beefchicken
      @beefchicken Рік тому

      The loudest noise is the sound of the pawl on the back of the ink disk. There were quieter arrangements for advancing the ink disk, my press uses bevel gears and a sprag clutch and the ink disk rotates silently. You may be surprised to learn, though, that it was also made by a man.
