   I just googled what a letterpress was and I agree it is the most beautiful form of printing in the world! :-) If I had one I would make greeting cards for friends and family! Original right? ;P

   I’d create my own set of promotional items on really nice watercolor paper, produce cool, 2-color show posters, and essentially just experiment with all of it’s capabilities (possibly selling them at craft fairs). As a designer, I’ve actually thought about this quite a bit. I’ve even gone so far as to check them out at several used estate sales, etc. Every time i get excited about the idea, reality comes crashing down and I realize 1) I don’t have the space to house such a magnificent machine 2) while I’ve worked at small print shops throughout my career, I don’t want to manage the thing (order inks, clean, maintain dies, etc), and finally 3) I’m afraid it’d sit around not getting used while I try to think of cool projects I could use it for.

   Maybe my ambitions are too lofty and I should start with a “hobby” type kit. I don’t know. Very neat idea though. Better (it seems) to find a local co-op that has the proper equipment that I can borrow when I need to or just hire a professional who knows the ins and outs better than I would….
