Letterpress printing Howard’s favorite cut with a 10x15 Chandler & Price Gordon style jobbing press

- We do not post videos often with our 10x15 Chandler & Price Gordon-style jobbing press, but when we do film, sometimes it can be an undertaking (especially when an exhibit is being built on the third floor of our museum). For this press run, Howard is using black rubber base ink to print a large photo engraving of himself and his favorite letterpress saying, “Mind your p’s & q’s.”
In this video, Howard shows inking of the press, building the form, and printing a few impressions. Sixty copies were printed in this press run. These autographed prints are now available in our museum store and website.
For those wondering, this is the standard way to apply ink to make sure an even layer of ink is on the ink disk and rollers. Once an even layer is established, then the form is placed on the bed of the printing press and printing can commence. We wish we could have filmed more of the printing but this print is a little too large to print the standard way while foot treadling the press.

I don’t know how I found y’all’s videos but I love watching them!
Same lol. I'm in central Illinois but I'm subscribed and hooked on these!
It was the algorithm.... Lol but also great videos. Something so simple yet heartwarming about them.
I’m a local and frequent the museum - it’s a different world in there and you’d have to be lucky to get to see Howard! It’s a great place to visit
So neat!! I loved watching the machine just do it’s thing while Howard walked away and did his haha
😂
I don’t know why this is so relaxing to watch… I think it’s the sound for me. Whatever the reason, I’m all for it lol
I have a Howard signed version of this print. It’s amazing.
That’s very awesome how did you get it if you don’t mind my question?
What a nifty machine! I really liked watching this one go. And Howard, literally pumping them out the press!
So many different types of presses. I love their intricate designs.
I imagine the smell of paint... the sound of wood on the floor.....gauuuu.... amazing
I love you so much Howard!!! You are in fact a national treasure!
If I were his grandson, I'd want to spend all of my summer days printing stuff from old machines with him. This looks so much fun!
it’s beautiful to see how much care and love howard puts in every gesture! precious really.
For him, it’s a Workout!
I love how mechanical this press is and all it took to start was a push of the wheel and a firm foot on the pedal keep up the work guys much love from the east coast!
Fantastic to watch you Howard working on your favorite cut! I would love to be there, or at least get a special copy of the print! Thanks so much for the video!!😊❤❤
Hi Howard and all the gang. Greeting from a Canadian in the Philippines. Thank you!
This is not just operating a machine. It is the life tranquil satisfying meditative and love...
So satisfying to watch 😌
I gotta make a trip to come meet howard. Such a calming kinda guy.
OHOH, I want one Howard's print... Howard you are amazing , still work that energetic ! God bless
What a wonderful window into history! The sounds of the machines and the old wood building just transport us to an age where life was a little less hectic and a tad more human scale.
! Hearing your descriptions of the pieces and the process...proper pronunciations of the pieces...stories etc also greatly appreciated.
Reminds me of being a kid and visiting Sutter's Fort, Gibson Ranch, and Old Town Sac and imagining what life was like back in the Gold Rush days.
Cheers! 🎉Grateful for the memories
Is it just me or does this press have a sick beat 🎶
Wow thats awesome!! So satisfying to look at🙏☀️
I'd love to operate that press: the sound and movement are so satisfying! ❤
Awesome!! Thanks for the detailed demonstration. Great fun!
Very cool machine! Thanks for sharing.

Not me leaning in wanting to help Howard 😂 1:31
I didn't realize how squealy the floor was!
Que agradable es ver a este sr hacer esta labor ❤
Even a blurry dream of modern printers would have crippled the people of these presses back then. Just like is and AGI.
excelente
I remember my dad used to take me to a print shop that was run by Howard Miller. I don’t know if you’re the same one- this was several decades ago. My dad had a shop too. We were in Gardena. Hello Enterprises.
Oddly satisfying
Aunque no entiendo pero a decir una buena explicación
We better do!!
I would give myself about week before I got my finger smashed when grabbing for the finished print.
whys old stuff last forever and new stuff breaks in a week
Coz they want us to keep buying 😢

I carve the fate of nations as they fade or grow. I sow the seed of factions as they come and go. I scatter deeds of kindness that future man may know, as through life he passes, to reap as he may sow. I paint a silver lining on clouds that come and go, cheer the mind when pining, and make the heart to go. I hold the key to knowledge, it's doors to open wide to those who gain the entrance and press their way inside. Job #12 - Mr. Houston's graphic arts class 1972
That amount of ink can print how many papers?
About 25-30 of this print.
😮😮😮😮
Is the Ink stinky?
I'd like to know!
Where can I buy one of those machines?
Sometimes on Facebook Marketplace.
I know exactly how every piece of that machine works! 😎.........no I don't 😭😭😭 #diginomad
Lol... I do!!!
Anybody looking for printing press letters and symbals . I have 3000 lbs in them I'd like to find a buyer for .
I am mashan man
1960's ASMR ,(probably not)
That seems like a lot of work for not much reward. Is there an efficiency I am missing with this machine?
you can print hundreds if not thousands once it's set up. 'economies of scale' should be a term you could learn.
Oh think of the alternatives during the time frame this was in use! It saved so much work and gave the same product every time. A great tool for that day. And still great today too. So much fun to watch!
It's also soothing and calming. A nice reprieve from this fast-paced world.
This is how racism was spread many years ago.
People like you is how racism is spread today. Keep up the bad work, Snowflake.

OH MY, Have Copy Machines Come A Long Way Since Those Days. Ask Your Secretary To Run Off A Hundred Copies Of Something In The Morning, And She Wouldn't Get Back With Them Until Quitting Time...
Nice
