Online demonstration via Zoom. Participants receive a sample print after the session.
It’s not as difficult as it looks! It takes a little planning and forethought, but tight registration (that is, alignment) of multiple ink colors on a hand-fed platen press is a breeze. Join us in raising the standards of what good printing looks like in this informative demonstration.
