Printing some Snoopy Christmas cards with a tabletop printing press

Sometimes we find printing items online and want to see who they’d turn out in our print shop at the Sacramento History Museum.
This large linocut was recently acquired and Jared wanted to see how letterpress printing it would turn out, especially for some personal holiday cards. The print is of Snoopy, Woodstock, and a Christmas tree.
This was printed using a 4x6 Golding Official No. 2 tabletop printing press. Fifty prints were printed on this press run using opaque white rubber base ink.

The ink wasn’t evenly covered on the rollers and ink disk until I stopped.

i just realized i wasnt looking at the right thing and that that was just the palette more or less but when you dont know that its painful xD

Can you use all your cuts on any of the presses or does it matter which cuts go with which machines?

[@nicholasjaboor2514]
