Thank you to everyone who helped us restore UNT's letterpresses! Here's what we accomplished:
We gave
P.R.I.N.T. Press' Craftsmen tabletop an overhaul and printed our first job on it. Check out a video of our recent printing session!
We rebuilt a 140-year-old clamshell
Gordon press, and once our new rollers arrive, we'll start printing!
We also made great progress on the
Washington and
Reliance hand iron presses at P.R.I.N.T. Press.
For matrixes, we used polymer plates and type-high blocks that were engraved by hand or cut with CVAD's CNC router.

We're planning our
first exhibition of letterpress-inspired prints by
Laura Drapac, Linda Santana, Cat Snapp and
Christopher Wallace. Entitled
Second Edition, it will take place in conjunction with
"Print Houston 2011," a month-long celebration of traditional and non-traditional printmaking. Here's some
preliminary work for the show!
