News from Flat Cap Publishing. Don’t try to tell me you don’t inhale. March 6, 2010. In this week’s New York Times Magazine, Virginia Heffernan considers her Kindle collection. One of the lovely things about a freshly letterpress printed book is that it smells of ink, sharp and heady, a solid and assertive smell that easily to outdo the weak, powdered, flat odor of warm plastic and electronics. Trust me, when you order and receive your copy of. Moby Dick Made Me Do It. March 7, 2010 at 5:38 pm. Enter you...

News from Flat Cap Publishing. March 9, 2010. From Updike, Printing Types: Their History, Forms, and Use. Harvard: 1922. When I start talking to most folks about letterpress printing and how I’m printing a book, I usually find myself talking about the process for a few seconds before I’m interrupted. Wait, metal type? You mean like with all those little pieces? Like you do this by hand? I’m not going to try to make a case here for hand typesetting or hand-work of any kind over digital typesetting and aut...

I hope it’s not an imposition… | Flat Cap Speaks

https://flatcappublishing.wordpress.com/2010/04/19/106

News from Flat Cap Publishing. I hope it’s not an imposition…. April 19, 2010. Ages and ages ago, I wrote a little about composing type. I wrote about my love of hand-composition, despite the horror some others seem to feel at the thought of such a laborious process. And I said I’d try to follow up with further exploration of the details. Process, which I described this way: “composed type is […] secured in a metal frame called a. Which allows the type to be loaded into the press for printing”. Herewith ...

Letterpress Prints — David M Laskowski II

http://www.dmltwo.com/the-pressure-is-good-for-you

A mix of traditional and contemporary prints. LEGO block lettering make-ready. A new way to play with LEGO blocks. I was inspired by the 1984 Apple print ad introducing the Macintosh computer. Hand set and printed vintage wood type wrapping paper for a client while at Genghis Kern. This was my first polymer project. I chose to see how far I could push the detail of the plates. I have always had an interest in biology and used this opportunity to display the circulartoy system. AIGA Colorado: Bordo Bello.

From The Tipi Room. I have no clean socks. I haven’t done laundry since… nevermind. That’s embarrassing. Let’s focus on what I have done. Last week I finally made it to one of the Refresh Denver.
