Operating a Chandler & Price Jobbing Press

One of the printing presses we have on display in our print shop exhibit at the museum is a Chandler & Price jobbing press that was manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio in 1902.
While many visitors, especially school children who have visited during a school program, may have seen how this press operates, not many people get to see all the steps involved in the printing process.
In this video, Howard demonstrates inking the press, operating the press, and cleaning the press after a press run. This video was filmed in segments as Howard printed our address on the back of 250 envelopes.

i dont know why but looking at these old printing presses is very satisfying and oddly relaxing

[@Flippercast]

I have the same feeling!

[@stevewall13]

Very cool sir. We have one similar to this at the print shop I work at. Thank you for the video.

[@williamburdon6993]

I spent many an hour doing just what you are doing. We used the red sealing wax on the pins though, not painters tape lol. I would imagine the tympan paper, lasts a lot longer though.

When I was ~19 to 20 years old (~42 years ago) I ran a similar press, but that had a motor. Stuff happened in between, now I'm a software engineer and have been since about 1994.

Ahhh, the familiar sound of a C&P. Mine is 1929 and run with a motor. My safety equipment is my belly. I can't reach too far or get my hand caught in the platen.

Looks like this old man loves his job and enjoying it. And that is all matter.

[@maxtravers1314]

“Don’t do what I’m doing”
Ah, I love this old man

[@sprh4ck3d]

This was the first video I ever watched from this channel

[@joekalipso]

Thank you for the video

[@MoZz..]

The cleaning is my favorite part ❤

[@MadManMason28]

Awesome!

[@thomasc4258]

Howard Powered 💪

[@mistec34]

The momentum on that HUGE wheel with all of the metal to the outside edge. That thing must go for a while with little top off energy.

[@ntilewills5679]

I wish we could see how the ink fountain on top worked.
I know they're rarely used. But it would be nice to see some close up shots of it.

[@coreyzek]

So relaxing and awesome to watch these ^_^ Mellow Taco Tuesday! Hope you all enjoy it!

[@FunDumb]

I need one here.

[@stevenscottoddballz]

5:03 What does that lever do? ~ 6:33 After cleaning it, do you give it to the customer to hold for future printing requests? If not, what do you do with the used ones? ~ 8:35 What does the fountain do?

[@garypic4083]

Work with C&P's for 35 years

[@chrisbreezy7603]

I know someone that make close to 4k prints in a day on this machine

[@Satyaprakash81102]

Doesn't that round flat plate has 2 pieces and both rotate in opposite direction????? Can you please make a video on how fountain mechanisms works? What is the rollers material? It should have rubberized surface but it looks like metal surface!!!!!!!

[@armandocan6262]

Y el motor?

[@EM_ARCHER]

No wonder the wheel becomes SO CLEAN!!!! You are using kerosene!!! 😮👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@dannyeaster1976]

Tricep workout

[@nikkivarain537]

Why not? Because this big manual machine is dangerous. 0:34

[@EM_ARCHER]

You would have to be strong 💪 to operate that? Looks like you def need some muscles 💪 and to carry an iron board print to set in the machine …..💪

[@pear7777]

Why would you advice people to not do that?

[@laretus]

Moving machinery and hands/appendages usually don't mix. If they do at least one stops being useful.

[@JoseJimenez-mx8so]

When putting ink or adding, you put spread it wide and thin at the edge of the disk, it spreads faster and easier than spots he is applying.

[@HelloooThere]

I think he knows what he’s doing 😉
