my father worked with one of these after the spanish civil war, just a child. We still have the press.

Wonderful and clear explanations, I did letterpress printing in the 1950's and this video was of real interest to me.

This is such a great video. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed watching and listening to Peter explain some of the basics of letterpress on a platen style press.

I looked after 10 of these as an apprentice, mainly making them ready for a team of ladies to hand feed them, although I did learn to hand feed, I had one in my garden shed twenty years later. They were made in Nottingham, England in two sizes 8x5 and 11x7 I think! There are four screws on the back of the platen to even up the impression. nice film.

@stewballs7 What kinds of foods did you hand feed them?

I remember these from Trade School back in 1982, them and the Vicobolds. They let us loose on these before we were allowed near the Heidelberg Platens and Cylinders.

Used to work one of these in the late 70's at school. Great fun. Good education too.

I used to work an Arab Platen back in the 1960s which was pedal powered. We had to be able to hand feed this machine at around 800 to 1,000 prints per hour.

What is a slap-stick motion while using this press - if there is such a term ?

For small jobbing work only two rollers are needed. The third only needs to go on when printing a full forme or large solid.

Same as all presses mate, you only need to carry as much ink as required. In offset we just turned off the keys in the duct or slowed the speed down on the duct roller so less ink gets transferred to the form rollers. I cut my teeth on these back in the early 80's as a first year apprentice. Now I run a Digital Printing business, doesn't have the soul that paste ink being transferred via forme or plate does. But hard to make a living doing that anymore, And as I am not a millionaire I cant afford a modern 4 colour press. That work has been taken over by the Trade only printers. I sold my offset presses back in 2001.

Tienes trabajo o es tu pasatiempo. Nicaragua, hemos perdido el 80 por cien de trabajo, nos quedamos 2 familias apostando esperanza desde hace 3 años, al parecer nos retiraremos sin nada. Habrá elecciones, covib haciendo desastre y posible guerra. Saludos Amigos impresores: somos amantes del arte por amor, siempre buscamos saber más , podríamos ahora informarnos cómo está la situación de cada lugar: futuro de la imprenta, las ventas, seguiremos desarrollando nos como tal, cómo nos afecta la pandemia, la recesión mundial.
