First run

OK  - here is the first run of the press.

I am doing a prop card for Briar Press to register my (hobby) press.  I did a very large card, rather than business card size, since my only type is 24 point it just looked better.

Things learned:

  • That rubber ink is rubbery.
  • It's hard to ink with a brayer evenly and without getting ink in places you don't want it.
  • It's really hard to clean a brayer - I never did get it really clean.
  • I had a typo on the first run of course.
  • My text didn't line up absolutely square - the bottom lines appear to be at an angle.
  • It was fun though.

Inked up


Very first fun - Winchester lacks an e and way too much ink.


Some corrected copies
