Using a tabletop printing press to print Christmas cards

At the Sacramento History Museum, the print shop exhibit includes working historic printing presses. In this video, Jared is using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press to print holiday cards using Pantone Green rubber base ink. The text for the front of the card was typeset in Cheltenham Bold 24 point. The image is from a stock photo engraving made about 80-90 years ago. The back of the card includes the text “Printed in the Sacramento History Museum” and an engraving of a Washington hand press, much like the one on display at the museum and the main press used in the Sacramento History Museum’s videos on TikTok. #christmas #christmascard #merrychristmas #happyholidays #sachistorymuseum #letterpress #museum #sacramento #printing #museumlife #publichistory #printingpress #asmr #youtubeshorts #youtube #shorts #short #shortvideo #shortsmaschallenge #shortsmas
