Learn the basics of setting type by hand and letterpress printing using the table-top platen press, still widely available on the market. Learn the california job case, set type, use a pica ruler and composing stick, mix ink, ink the press and print.

Each student will set and print his or her own business card. We’ll pull proofs, make corrections and print multiple copies; then we’ll distribute type and spacing, and clean up.
