A to Z Letterpress

MONTEVIDEO, MN Andy Kahmann, the "A" in A to Z Letterpress and owner of the shop, likes to print the old-fashioned way: with hand-set type and a letterpress. He specializes in unique small-run printing. Andy works with many area artists to create calendars, posters, cards, and booklets - many designs incorporate artists' hand-cut linoleum or wood blocks. A to Z is one of the stops on the Meander, an annual art crawl on the upper Minnesota, as Andy explains. In this segment Barb Hawes, a volunteer, demonstrates typesetting and Andy explains the "kiss of letterpress" as they both work on the 2013 Meander calendar.

Nice video. I was in the printing business (letterpress and offset) for many years, and I always have a nice warm feeling when I see someone setting type and hand-feeding an old C&P. BTW, I've never seen a open press fly wheel running in that direction.

You need to know that the metal frame is called a 'chase' when it's empty and becomes a 'forme' when filled with type and furniture etc.

Sois dichosos:
A MONTEVIDEO, MN Andy Kahmann, la "A" de las impresoras tipográficas de la A a la Z y propietaria de la tienda, le gusta imprimir a la antigua usanza: con el tipo de juego de manos y una tipografía. Se especializa en la impresión única de tiradas pequeñas. Andy trabaja con muchos artistas del área para crear calendarios, carteles, tarjetas y folletos; muchos diseños incorporan linóleo o bloques de madera cortados a mano de los artistas. De A a Z es una de las paradas en el Meandro, un recorrido artístico anual en la parte superior de Minnesota, como explica Andy. En este segmento, Barb Hawes, una voluntaria, demuestra la composición y Andy explica el "beso de la impresión tipográfica" mientras ambos trabajan en el calendario 2013 del Meandro.
Aún trabajan así? Desde Nicaragua, Saludos

Nice workshop. As an apprentice I fed a Chandler and Price platen some of the time, finished up as a compositor. Your printing skills are good but you need some advice on typesetting, like how to hold the stick!
