Here’s using a printing press to print something that might be difficult for a modern copy machine

In our print shop exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum, we like to test a variety of ink colors to see how prints turn out. Many of our viewers have asked about printing in white ink. Well, here’s using a printing press to print something that might be difficult for a modern copy machine.

In this video, Jared letterpress prints an image depicting the first printing press in what would later become the United States, which was Stephen Daye’s wooden common press from 1639. This was printed in opaque white rubber base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press.

These are prints we hand out to visitors when they stop by our print shop and mention they watch our videos. Quite frankly, we hand these out to anyone!
