Adana letterpress

Adan Five-Three

We recently aquired this small printing press on e bay to demonstrate how letterpress worked as part of the project Lucy is doing with the town heritage initiative and the history of printing in Aberdare.

We want to use it to make some invitation cards for the exhibition in the museum in February. As we have run out of time to buy suitable typefaces I made up some words out of lino which I set in the chase at the same height as the type. Its a great little machine and is ideal for invitation cards, business cards and greetings cards.
