• By trade I’m a printer. I learned this back in high school. It’s sad that it’s been replaced with high speed copiers and the Internet.
• great job for dyslexic people
• Both of my brothers were compositors (assembling the type) now superceded by computers.
• What do you think Chris?
• Beautiful work!
• Fun fact: Why do we call them ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ case letters? Because in the time of printing presses like the one in the video, the metal letters were kept in drawers. Yep… the ‘upper’ letters were in the top of the case and the other letters in the ‘lower’ case.
• Nice! Thank you for sharing!!
• Wow! What a beautiful craft.
• Very interested.
• I didn’t know they still did it this way? This must be for special books? It would cost a lot of money and take a lot of time. There’s no way all books are printed this way
• That’s a lot of work!
• Wow
