Retrieving latest tweet...
I've become quite obsessed with printing presses lately, probably since I saw this Stephen Fry documentary on TV. I love the idea of getting a little tabletop Adana (only just resisted buying this one then someone else got in there!) and printing messages onto greeting cards. However, since even the tiniest press won't fit in our flat, I'm giving it a go by hand. I bought a fount of 18pt Times Bold from ebay and am going to try hand-inking and pressing it. Worth a try, anyway.
I also want to get back into screen printing when I have the time, space and money! I'm going to pick up a copy of Print Liberation in readiness.

Good luck with your letterpressing! We've had our Adana 8x5 since last August and love it, even though half the bits are missing! Working with metal type is so satisfying - and you get to learn a whole new set of archaic jargon. We thought we didn't have room for a press, but have managed to shoehorn it into our tiny back room.
