Throughout the month of October, we have been letterpress printing in our print shop at the Sacramento History Museum with pink ink. In this video, Jared printed a linoleum cut that was designed by a colleague of his at other place of employment. The print depicts a desert scene with a large cactus. This was a test print to see how it looks so far. This was printed with pink oil base ink using a Washington hand press. #linoleum #linocut #linoprinting #cactus #sachistorymuseum #museum #sacramento

For this press run, Howard and Jared are using black rubber base ink to print a large photo engraving of a cartoon depiction of Howard and his favorite letterpress saying, “Mind your p’s & q’s.” The artwork was created by our staff member, Shawn. The image was then sent to OWOSSO Graphic Arts in Owosso, Michigan where the photo engraving was designed. In this video, Howard and Jared show letterpress

Using a tabletop printing press to print an image of a printing press. This letterpress cut was printed in reflex blue rubber base ink. The image depicts a wooden common press from the late 1600s through the 1700s. This photo engraving certainly isn’t that old though. The press used in the video is a 3×5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. About 50 were printed in this press run. Why was Jared printing these? These are prints we give out to our viewers when they stop by the Sacramento Hist
