I spent a little time yesterday working on my press…getting some files ready today so I can order my first set of plates from Boxcar Press! I can’t wait to really get this going. I still have some kinks to work out. It doesn’t seem to be inking/printing evenly, but that should be an easy fix. However, the trucks on my rollers keep coming off the rails. If anyone with any letterpress experience has suggestions on how to fix this, I would love to hear them! It felt good to do something that didn’t involve my laptop for an afternoon…hopefully more days like that are in my near future. -MC maggiecrisler: Still have some kinks to work out…but I printed something! #letterpress (Taken with Instagram at Armosa Studios)
