Thank you for your service Sir ❤🇺🇸💪😊

Amazing!

I am imPressed by this parlor press, and your presentation. One day, I might venture to the museum.

man it had never come to my mind that there would be hobbyist printers, but of course there would be. reminds me of a teacher that said you can attribute a lot of impactful stuff in history to the creation of the printing press. also woah it printed real nice.

What a nice treat you've given us! Thank you

Would absolutely love more videos like this!!

This is really cool! Would be fun tu have a printing press for artwork. It is a marvel, how far technology has progressed, in the short time, since this was popular 😮❤

The things people got up to before Television, and even radio. Singing around the piano, looking at photo albums, stereopticans (sp?) which were 3-D viewers for special photographs (my grandmother had one from her parents). I can see many owners of small businesses creating their own handbills (flyers) and advertisements. This was a lovely overview/demonstration. Thank you.

A question about the "parlor printing" trend: What about the other parts of process, like making the plate? I thought that somehow involoved sulfuric acid flicking onto the plate. That doesn't seem like something that would have been done in the home? How was that handled?

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

Charming!

I would love to print books but the plates are so expensive and I could not make them myself.

That was very interesting! I would like one of these parlour presses as a person who loves all things to do with paper. cheers

Suggestion: Do a 3 minute video on paper making.

My gran always had the parlour clean and dusted just in case there were visitors. The family mainly gathered in the kitchen which was always warm from the constant cooking. All too different now.

I want one!

If he could have known, I'm sure Mark Twain would have been pleased that you'd hung his portrait in the museum. It would look nice over a Paige compositor, if you could find one.

There's a "Twilight Zone" episode with the great Burgess Meredith (Batman's "The Penguin", to my generation) operating a typesetting machine (a non-standard model). While I find, like many other people, that these machines are fascinating, and more so than photolithography and offset printers, they were only accessible to professional printers. Also, a lot of the printing that was done, then as now, was utilitarian and short-lived, but still involved a great deal of hard work and drudgery. I think it's a very good thing that computer typesetting has made it possible for ordinary people with ordinary office equipment to create fine typography. Most of the time it isn't, of course, but the potential exists. Nothing compares to real ink on fine paper, placed there by a real press (or by rubbing), but it's possible to make the designs (including text) with the computer and transfer them to blocks for hand-printing.

A beautiful little press, but I can imagine the mess that printing in the parlor would make.

I want one!

This is very asmr

Thanks to YT's algorhythm I found your interesting and well presented video. And subsribed 🤓 (My father was working as a typesetter for a daily newspaper in the good old times.)

Are they being made? Mini presses?

Thanks.

Great content, thank you!

Thank you! Fantastic video as always, Mark!

That is super cool. Makes ya really appreciate how easy we have it today to print whatever we want extremely fast. Although, i am still partial to the old way of doing things, slow and methodical using handmade beautiful equipment.

Thanks. Very interesting!

Dear Mr. Print machine employer My dad had a some print machines his, but the machines was steal and he stay very prejudice. Kindness watching Mr. Antonio TORRES in Brazil/Salvador/BA. Thanks!

He cared about Emily so much..that he sacrificed his life to give it to her . ❤❤❤❤

Does the metal type get melted down afterwards so it can be used again?

Oh wow

Heh, I just dropped by this channel because I was curious how a Linotype really worked (I was only vaguely aware of it before.) ... stuck around for this entire tour series haha. It's always great to see a host/presenter who obviously loves what they do and knows their stuff.

Great storytelling. Thank you.

A lot of the highly skilled Linotype operators could do something called "hang the elevator." They would set the line of type so fast, they had to wait for the preceding lines to complete their cycle through the machine before they could elevate that current line.

The music in this one is actually bearable. Can't stand the ones with EDM or sappy music

My grandpa was a small town printer with a weekly newspaper. He had a whole shop full of presses, Linotypes...and all 10 of his fingers! All his presses were belt driven, and his newspaper press was as big as a pickup truck!

Printing press

What recipe do you use for your ink?

Fascinating!

Wow!

Where is ink in substrate

Great video

Stinkin’ computers ruined everything! The Linotype is an amazing mechanical marvel! Such technology is lost in todays world. Thanks for sharing your video.
