so i mentioned i finally printed something on my c&p pilot press a couple weeks ago. it was really simple, i just used some wood type + red ink. but it was so much fun! i thought i'd share a few pictures:
this is where my sweet little pilot press sits.
it's well used and a sweet shade of dusty blue.
inking up: a little ink goes a long way!
getting the rollers all inked.
aligning the print.
library 'hello' cards all printed.
all done.
hope you enjoyed the photos! :)
How sweet they are! I remember running big presses in college - I loved the smell of it all. Can remember it very clearly, thanks for the walk down memory lane this morning.
