Somewhere in this shop a font of 36 pt Bernhard Gothic is lurking about. We see signs of it but haven’t found its nest yet. Maybe they’re just strays, but once you see signs of them others aren’t usually too far away.

Little green turtles
all about, like a hatching.
Soon to be set free.

Pound for pound I think the shop produces more dirt than it does prints. Maybe we should try farming.

Pied a galley of wood type tonight in the shop and discovered these eight double sided sorts. It’s not unusual for printers to do this but eight is a bit more than usual. Kinda neat.

We have more posters to hang than we have room to hang them. This is a great problem to have. Thanks to all the folks that shares their prints with us.

Inspired by the twice impeached AND indicted, former President, we went out to the shop and printed these. As he’d say, We like our American President less treasonous.

We printed this piece only to cover it up just like they did in the past. What good are operating instructions and hints for better prints underneath packing and tympan‽
That’s why we printed posters to go along with the cylinder wrap. So you can always have useful and handy tips, erm, handy.
We printed more than enough so there’s plenty available for our mutual Poco friends.

We print and work on presses over here. We just finished up a nice little Poco 0 and are now putting the finishing touches on it with this little print. Operating Instructions for the Poco P**f Press. It’s gonna look lovely on the cylinder.

We have the smaller version of this saw in our shop and in our opinion it is indispensable and every shop should have one. Sure it may be a hike from the North East but it’s in a state and will make all your custom print jobs a whole lot easier. Plus the person selling it seems like a fun person to know. At this price it’s a real steal.
